General Information and Instruction 
READ CAREFULLY 
ORDER EARLY 
O RDERS are reserved strictly in rotation 
and are forwarded when requested or as 
danger of frost is past. Unless otherwise in¬ 
structed, roots will go forward for latitudes 
north of the Mason and Dixon line May 1st to 
20th, except seeds which will be sent at once, 
and plants after May 15th unless requested 
sooner, at customer’s risk. It will assist us 
materially in filling orders at the proper time if 
our customers will specify the approximate time 
they wish to have their roots shipped. For this 
latitude the best time is May 20th to June 15th. 
Planting in the South may be made earlier. 
PRICES QUOTED 
Prices quoted are for strong divisions of 
field grown roots which have not been used 
for propagation and include the prepayment of 
postage on retail orders over $2.00. On orders 
of less amount than $2.00 a charge of 10c is 
made for postage and packing, which please in¬ 
clude. The same applies to green plants. We 
make the usual discount to the wholesale trade. 
On wholesale orders, forwarding charges are 
paid by purchaser. 
SUBSTITUTION 
We have ample stocks of most all varieties 
quoted to fill expected orders, but there is the 
possibility that some of our varieties may be¬ 
come exhausted; however, we do not substitute 
for any varieties which may be sold out unless 
expressly permitted to do so and if we receive 
your order and are out of any particular var¬ 
iety you select, we will refund your money un¬ 
less you authorize us to send the nearest in 
color, habit and price to the variety ordered. 
Please advise a second choice in case you de¬ 
sire us to substitute if necessary, especially for 
orders late in the season. 
TERMS 
Unless otherwise arranged, cash must ac¬ 
company all orders. If it is desired to have 
shipment made C. O. D., then 25 per cent of the 
purchase price should accompany the order. 
Orders will be reserved upon payment of 25 per 
cent cash at time order is given, balance C. O. 
D. when shipped. Please remit by check, money 
or express order or postoffice order. 
GUARANTEE 
While every care is exercised in digging, 
planting and packing, that none should be 
mixed, no guarantee is given other than to re¬ 
place any stock that may prove not true to 
name. If shipment does not arrive in good con¬ 
dition, please notify us at once, returning 
roots, which will be immediately replaced, and 
if any dahlia root does not begin to grow or 
show signs of growth within four weeks after 
planting, please return it and the same will be 
replaced free of charge. We recommend and 
use green plants of dahlias but cannot be re¬ 
sponsible for losses in plants after they are 
set out. There are so many things that can 
happen to them not our fault or the fault of 
the plant, that we cannot accept the responsi¬ 
bility of replacing plants. However, our ex¬ 
perience with plants is entirely satisfactory. 
STATE INSPECTION 
Each shipment of dahlias we make is ac¬ 
companied by a certificate of the Director of 
Agriculture of Ohio, showing that our nursery, 
consisting of Perennials and Bulbs, have been 
inspected by a duly authorized inspector in com¬ 
pliance with the law and found apparently free 
from dangerously injurious insects and plant 
diseases. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Sufficient cultural directions for the raising 
of dahlias are given toward the end of this cat¬ 
alog, both for seed and for roots. Read it. 
Full cultural instructions will also be sent out 
with each order. 
ERRORS 
In the rush of the shipping season, errors 
are possible to occur, and we, like all human 
beings, are apt to make a mistake. However, 
we will consider it a favor to be notified at once 
so that we can rectify the same. If you have a 
complaint, tell us first. If you 1 i.ke our treat¬ 
ment, tell others.
