DAHLIAS 
W E TAKE great pleasure in presenting you with our 
Dahlia catalogue for 1935. We list only novelties, 
and standard varieties of real merit, based on actual 
experience and personal observation. Our list does not in¬ 
clude all new introductions, but only such varieties that have 
been selected for their superiority in color, perfection of form, 
length and stiffness of stem, continuous blooming and keeping 
qualities. All new introductions are grown from introducer's 
stock. 
OUR STOCK consists of the highest quality field and pot- 
grown Dahlia roots. They are fully guaranteed true to 
name and to arrive in good growing condition. We have 
spared no expense to grow the best roots obtainable. With 
reasonable care they will produce for the grower a large 
quantity of high-class flowers. 
ROOTS AND GREEN PLANTS will give equally good results, 
if plants are given immediate care upon arrival. Our 
plants are all base cuttings; strong, hardy lath house grown 
stock. Packed by experts in ventilated containers, the plants 
travel safely on a six-day trip. 
WE SUPPLY roots after January 1st; pot-grown plants from 
May 1st to September. For terms of sale and guarantee,
