Read All Your Catalogue Thoroughly/ 
Before Ordering 
We will cheerfully answer any question we can, but 
many are sent in which, if the customer had read the cata¬ 
log thoroughly, would have been answered in it. Read all 
your catalog. 
To those who have never bought from us: “Welcome!” 
We know that if you will give our roots a trial you will be 
delighted at the results and continue one of our many 
pleased customers. Read the few (of the many thousands 
of unsolicited) testimonials in this catalog. 
Our roots are grown naturally—no irrigation, no fertili¬ 
zation (except phosphate broadcast in the Fall), no staking, 
no disbudding, no pampering of any kind; in fact, they are 
the hardiest to be had and will produce abundantly any¬ 
where. Are guaranteed true to name, also.

Our catalog contains a list of all the best, both new and 
old varieties; many of the lower priced introductons of years 
past are far superior to many of the late introductions, and 
we believe money is too scarce to “gamble” away. Our de¬ 
scriptions of varieties are short, but true; if a dahlia, other¬ 
wise great, has a bad fault, we tell you so. Lengthy descrip¬ 
tions in superlative language only tend to confuse the mind, 
and are often misleading. Don’t pass up a dahlia on account 
of its low price—many low priced ones are the best of their 
shape and color.

Don’t be “fooled” into sending your money to “wildcat” 
or “unreliable” growers because their prices are lower. Buy 
always from one you can trust. Carelessness now means, 
later, disgust. We don’t pretend to compete with those who 
offer $1.00 roots for 10c and send out roots which aren’t 
worth 50c a dozen. 
We never exhibit, in competition or otherwise; we 
never practice “high-culture” at any time; we depend on 
the testimonials and recommendations (always unsolicited) 
of our many pleased customers, to spread the news, and 
they do it. 
If you can give your catalog to an interested friend, 
send us (on a post-card) the friend’s name and address; we 
will gratefully thank you and send you another copy. 
DON’T PLANT TOO EARLY! If you do, your 
plants will be in full bloom during the heated months and 
by the time you could enjoy the flowers the plants have 
passed their prime; we have many customers, especially in 
the extreme south, who do not plant until May 15th to June 
1st and claim they have best results by planting late. No 
dahlias should be planted anywhere until the soil is warm.
