General Information 
ORDER EARLY—We urge all customers to place their orders early. Stock 
of the newer varieties is limited and much disappointment can be 
avoided. All roots sent out prior to March 15th, are sent at the buy¬ 
er’s risk. Although we take every precaution, roots are not guaran¬ 
teed against freezing, unless they are shipped by express. 
TERMS—A small remittance with order, balance before date of shipment. 
Retail orders of $2.50 or more, are delivered prepaid. Wholesale 
orders at purchaser’s expense. 
NOTICE TO OHIO RETAIL CUSTOMERS ONLY: 
In compliance with the Ohio law recently passed, all retail purchases are 
subject to a sales tax, as per the following schedule:— 
9c to 40c 1c tax 41c to 70c 2c tax 71c to $1.08 3c tax For each $1.00 3c tax 
This tax is for the customers’ account, as we are not permitted to absorb 
same. 
SHIPPING—Orders are shipped as soon after April 1st as convenient, un¬ 
less otherwise notified. Green plants will be shipped around May 
1st to June 15th, as you specify. 
GUARANTEE—We guarantee every plant and root sent out by us to be 
true to name and in a healthy condition when received; after that 
our responsibility ceases as we have no control over growing condi¬ 
tions. Please notify us at once, if anything is unsatisfactory when 
received, or if plants or roots do not grow after planted a reasonable 
length of time. This guarantee does not go beyond replacing the 
variety. 
SUBSTITUTIONS—We make no substitutions without your permission, 
but suggest you name a second choice. 
NAME AND ADDRESS—Be sure to write name and address plainly. 
GREEN PLANTS—We recommend the planting of green plants. For ex¬ 
hibition blooms, they are unequaled. 
Do not be discouraged if a Dahlia from a different locality does not do well 
for you the first season. Try it again as many varieties need to 
be acclimated. 
We specialize in gathering together worth-while new Dahlia originations. 
If you do not see the variety listed that you want, write us; we grow 
many Dahlias not listed here.
