For best results grow l’urrella dahlias 
•'SUPER DAHLIA SEED" 
Have you been looking for an outstanding dahlia, that you would 
like to name after yourself, or some beloved friend? If you have, then I 
have the seed from which these beauties can be raised as can be attested 
to by the many visitors to my gardens the past season as well as the letter 
in the next page. 
You can get results just as good, if not better, and what is more, I 
GUARANTEE these results, as I do not believe in the practice of putting 
a few good seed into a packet of cheap and inferior seed, and then trust to 
luck. That is not my way of doing business, like Luther Burbank, the 
great plant wizard, whose instructions I have followed, to select and reselect 
the best from the best to achieve better results, and that you cannot expect to 
raise elephants out of dogs, no more than you can raise an ostrich, in cross¬ 
ing them with canary birds. It is the big fellows I am after, it is for this 
reason that I absolutely do not grow a single plant, of Pompons single, 
collarette, show or open centered dahlias. 
My seed is hand picked and selected from over 300 varieties of Honor 
Roll dahlias, in my gardens, and it is for this reason, and this reason only, 
that I can give the following GUARANTEE, that more than 50% of 
these will show full, double and tight centers, and that among these you 
will get some that are as good, if not better, than any outstanding variety 
you have in your garden, no matter what they are.
