PREMIER DAHLIA GARDENS 
TO OUR DAHLIA LOVING FRIENDS 
The name Premier is synonymous with super¬ 
ior stock, sturdy plants and high business princi¬ 
pals. We express our thanks and appreciation to 
those that have given their support and are grate¬ 
ful for the many letters commending our stock, 
our square dealings and telling of successes with 
the roots and plants purchased of us. We will 
continue to render the utmost in service and 
make every transaction entirely satisfactory at 
all times. 
Here are a few abstracts from numerous 'ot¬ 
ters received: 
From North Carolina—“The beautiful plants received in 
grand condition. They are the best 1 ever purchased; Can’t 
thank you enough.” 
From Long Island, N. Y.—“Never saw plants in such good 
contition. The way they were packed they would keep a 
long time. 
From Brooklyn, N. Y.—“Plants and roots ordered of you 
are doing finely—Was more than satisfied with results last 
season.” 
From Alabama—“It is a great pleasure to do business 
with you.” 
From Ohio—“I never have received finer looking, better 
packed plants. They are nice, stocky fellows that carried 
perfectly.” 
From Oregon—“Plants arrived in fine condition with ex¬ 
ception of one which was broken. All are growing fine.” 
Note:—36 plants made up this 1933 shipment, and a sub¬ 
sequent order of 1934 went thru in perfect condition. 
From Long Island, N. Y.—“Have just finished digging 
the plants I received from you and they certainly made 
fine clumps and I am more than pleased.” 
We use our best efforts to keep our stock ab¬ 
solutely healthy and free from disease by the de¬ 
struction of “stunts” and by discarding those 
that do not come true. 
OUR GREEN PLANTS are grown so as to give 
the maximum of results equal or superior to root 
stock. This is only accomplished by the selection 
of healthy vigorous roots benched in a moderate 
heat that will enable us to take stocky base cut¬ 
tings. Only a reasonable number of cuttings are 
taken and none used that are spindly. After cut¬ 
tings are rooted and potted and begin to grow 
they are moved to cooler quarters and later shift¬ 
ed to larger pots; at this stage small tubers are 
beginning to form, assuring that clumps will be 
obtained at digging time; the plants are later 
hardened off in “outside quarters” so as to with¬ 
stand shipping and be in condition for planting 
out.
