To our friends and customers: 
The varieties in this list are the ones we have 
grown successfully as we do not care for varieties 
which are not dependable from one year to the next 
—we do not list them, as we prefer quality to quantity. 
We prefer to list those varieties which will give our 
customers satisfaction. We can furnish new varieties 
at originator’s prices. 
The roots we are offering are FIELD GROWN 
and will prove satisfactory if given proper care and 
cultivation. We use our best efforts to keep o-ur stock 
strong and healthy by destroying any plants that 
are not so. 
We wish to thank our customers for their patron¬ 
age and support, also for the letters telling of the 
success you have had with our roots and plants. As¬ 
suring you all orders will receive careful attention. 
Yours for Better Dahlias, 
WILL HOOKWAY.
