They are grown under moderate heat, and at the proper time are hardened off 
in cold frames. We have shipped green plants to California and they arrived 
in fine condition. No plants sent C. O. D.

NOTICE: This list cancels all previous prices. 
NOTE: We have used the originator's description mostly in describing many of 
the newer varieties but we are not responsible as to the perfect color description, 
size or habit of the Dahlia described, as different soils and climatic conditions often 
cause plants to produce blooms that vary somewhat from color described. 
EARLY SHIPMENT NOTICE 
(Read before ordering) 
As we are supplying commercial growers with the best in Dahlias and be¬ 
cause of their constant request for early shipments, we wish to state that we use 
great care to protect any and all shipments so that the shipment will arrive at its 
destination in the best possible condition. But it is understood that WE ASSUME 
NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR INJURY BY FREEZING OR OTHERWISE ON ANY 
ORDER SHIPPED BEFORE APRIL 1st. We advise the shipping of early orders by 
express, as the express concerns are liable for any kind of loss while in transit. 
Parcel Post packages are not or cannot be insured against loss by freezing. They 
are only insured to guarantee delivery at destination, but special attention is given 
perishable shipments by mail. In all our experience in shipping early orders, very 
few have failed to reach the purchaser in the best of condition, but still we wish to 
protect ourselves as many orders are large and very valuable. Therefore we urge 
again express shipments up to April 1st. Protect yourself by requesting express 
shipment before the above date.
