Dahlia Plants 
Regarding Dahlia Plants—We have shipped plants with great 
success to all parts of the United States, and have received comments 
like the following: 
California—“1 have never seen such packing since I left home 
(Scotland) ; every plant looked like it had just left the greenhouse.” 
Michigan—“Thanks for such nice plants; not a leaf bruised.” 
Ohio—“Best plants I have ever gotten from any place.” 
New York—“Your plants are knockouts.” 
We appreciate these comments and will see to it that your plants 
reach you in as satisfactory condition. 
Buy a plant this year, and have a clump for next year. At least 
75 per cent of our growing is from plants. 
If you have not done so already, we recommend that you subscribe 
to The Mid West Dahlia News, No. 170 Talmadge St., Madison, Wis. 
You will get up to the minute Dahlia news treating on every subject 
of interest to a Dahlia fan. A real live publication, $1.00 per year— 
issued quarterly.

necticut, which entitles you to a bulletin, published quarterly, filled

With the foregoing descriptions we have made every effort to not 
overdescribe our offerings. Our continued success depends upon our 
Dahlias making good. If your dealings with us are not satisfactory, 
we want to know it. We solicit constructive criticism. 
We invite you to visit us at any season, hut especially at blooming 
time, that you may see a wealth of new things for introduction in 
1935 and 1936—our own new Dahlias, and the promising new ones of 
other growers, and some from Australia which we have been entrusted 
to introduce. We mean to have the very best of the new Dahlias and 
are sure a visit from you will be mutually gratifying.
