GREETINGS TO OUR MANY FRIENDS AND PATRONS 
W E have spared no expense in trying to make this catalogue as clear and 
as brief as is humanly possible in giving and describing all of the new 
and standard varieties we are offering you in this catalogue as to color, size of 
blooms, stems, vigorousness of plants, as well as the height of them. 
These varieties are described in detail to give you a fair idea of just what 
you should expect of the different roots you will buy from us. if any variety 
does not grow as we say and describe that particular variety, we will gladly 
refund every cent paid for it. We know of no fairer proposition. Do you? 
What is more, we live up to every word of our agreement. 
As proof of this, we are very happy to say that we are members of the 
“National Association of Commercial Dahlia Growers”, which “Guarantees a 
Square Deal.” It is your guarantee that the grower with whom you are doing 
business with will give you a square deal in every particular. You need have no 
hesitancy in dealing with any member of the National Association of Commercial 
Dahlia Growers. 
It has been a pleasure, during the past season, to meet and greet our many 
dahlia loving friends at our gardens at Ossining, N. Y. and at Cold Spring, 
N. Y., where we had as fine a collection of dahlias as could be seen in any 
garden. 
It was also very gratifying to see so many of our friends at the recent 
A.D.S. Dahlia Show T at the Hotel Pennsylvania, this city, on September 20th 
and 21st last, who won prizes from roots bought from us, among whom was 
Mr. Edward J. O’Keefe, of Cold Spring, N. Y., who won the Sweepstake prize 
in Section B, a class calling for other than professional gardeners growing more 
than 100 and less than 250 hills. We are proud to say that Mr. O’Keefe has 
grown no variety that was not purchased from us. 
As further proof of the quality of our stock, we will boldly say here that 
it is needless to say that we had by far the best blooms of the following varieties 
at the recent A. D. S. Show: 
AMELIA EARHART JERSEY MAJESTIC 
CHIEF TUSTICE LINCOLN G. DICKEY 
COMMODORE ORIENTAL GLORY 
DR. HARRY HOWARD PAUL PFITZER 
FRAU O BRACHT SATAN 
HELEN IVINS WHITE WONDER 
As well as the largest collection of European dahlias in the show. 
We earnestly solicit your trade for a trial order if you have never given 
us one previously, you can rest assured that you will not be disappointed, in try¬ 
ing us now, as we GUARANTEE every root or plant we send out, to grow 
for you just as good as it grows in our gardens, and to your satisfaction, or return 
the full purchase price to you upon your word that they did not. What can he 
fairer ? 
You may wonder how this is possible. The answer to that is simple. We 
do not force any of our plants; we weed out each and every plant that shows 
the slightest sign of disease or that is weak while it is growing, so that at digging 
time we have nothing but the very best as well as the healthiest of stock to dig 
up and store in our bins. It is to this practice that we owe our success and the 
continued growth of our business, as we believe that our customers are our best 
advertisers.
