Please do not send personal checks 
as remittances on orders, as the delays 
and cost of collection causes a loss to 
us on the average order. 
We have cut the prices of every 
item to rock bottom, and as we pre¬ 
pay transportation charges on all or¬ 
ders, we must have our prices free 
from further costs for collection 
charges. 
We are not listing collections of Dahlias this year, 
will let you make up your own, and in that way, get 
just what you want. 
On $1.00 orders, select Dahlias to value of $1.20. 
On $2.00 orders, select Dahlias to value of $2.50. 
Write for special quotations on large quantities, 
stating just what is wanted, and how much is wanted 
of each variety, and about when. 
If your Dahlias assume a sickly color, both in 
plant and flower after attaining their full growth, 
they are scalded by excessive hot weather conditions 
and vapor arising from the ground. Under such 
conditions, pick off all withered foliage and flowers, 
and this will induce new growth later in the fall 
when weather becomes cooler, and will surprise you 
with their rapid recovery and prolific production of 
their best flowers. 
Where Dahlias are grown near a lawn or sod 
ground, watch out for cut worms, as they are very 
fond of the young Dahlia plant. Our instruction 
sheet which goes out with every order gives simple 
instructions on how to overcome this pest. 
When To Plant Dahlias 
Dahlias can be planted from April 15th to August 
15th with success in this climate, but early plant¬ 
ings will not produce satisfactory flowers during the 
hot months of July and early August, but will again 
revive and give many beautiful flowers during the 
cool fall months, if given reasonable moisture during 
the hottest season. 
However, we believe that for the average fancier, 
planting the latter part of June or early July will 
be the most satisfactory, but such plantings should 
have an application of commercial fertilizer worked 
into the soil surrounding the plant about September 
1st or the later flowers will not be of best form. 
Our own Dahlias are not grown for their flowers, 
but for the best commercial roots and we plant from 
August 1st to August 15th.
