Dahlia Seeds 
Having been asked so many times, “Where do you get your seeds?” 
and “Where can I buy seeds like that?” we offer for sale a few seeds—a 
limited supply only. 
Dahlia Seeds at best, the very best, are always a chance. From twen¬ 
ty-five seeds you might get a real Gold Medal winner, and from a thousand 
seeds, nothing worth while. The best we can do is to give you the best to 
be had—there are none better. 
We know of no greater sport than to watch these seedlings burst forth 
for the first time, and to know when we do get a new one that it is worth 
while, there is none other like it. 
We feel fortunate indeed to be able to offer you Dahlia Seeds from, 
we think, one of America’s greatest Dahlia breeders.

With the foregoing descriptions we have made every effort to not over-describe our 
offerings. Our continued success depends upon our Dahlias making good. If your deal¬ 
ings 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 —- our own new Dahlias, and the promising new ones 
of other growers, which have been entrusted to us for introduction.
