SPECIAL OFFER 
In the testing of hundreds of varieties each year, 
we have considerable stock, that we feel might be of 
use to our customers, of varieties that are good in some 
sections of the country and possibly temperamental in 
others. Some like light soil, others heavy, and so on. 
Some of these dahlias you may have seen doing very 
well in your particular locality. Other varieties are 
listed here because of limited stock. 
WHEN BUYING FROM ODD LOTS you may 
select double value. For example, when ordering a 
$1.00 variety, you may select another of equal value 
free. A $1.00 variety will not be sold for 50c. This 
offer applies only to varieties listed under “Odd Lots.”
