Honest Business Pays 
B EHIND us are the years of easy come and 
easy go; the years when an article sold to 
you and me because of smooth advertising 
and fine sales talk. Today we demand our 
money’s worth and we get it or we do not buy. 
Last year we made an effort to be honest in 
our advertising; we have been told we were too 
honest; people did not like it. We do not be¬ 
lieve this for our customers are right back again 
this year, and they have brought others with 
them. We have more new dahlias this year 
and do not apologize for a single one. They 
are all we say they are without exception. 
It is our desire to build our business for the 
future and the only way it can be done is by 
giving to you what we believe to be the best 
dahlias grown. In this we are aided by Mr. 
George W. Fraser, of Willimantic, Conn., who 
knows as much about the desirability of a 
flower as any man growing them. 
Because of our connection with him we offer 
the top place to his originations this year and 
follow them with others which are equally as 
good in their class. Some are left out. They 
do not meet our requirements or there are oth¬ 
ers we believe to give as much satisfaction for 
a smaller investment. 
You must remember that any honor roll is 
but the opinion of one man or group of men, 
and your likes or dislikes are your honor roll. 
Many fine dahlias never are exhibited but they 
may be every bit as good as those great origi¬ 
nations which have the praise of the show 
room back of them. 
We do not claim to have the finest dahlias, 
the finest climate, the finest soil or the finest 
of anything. That is a lot of fancy talk, made 
to sell dahlias. You can do just as well and 
perhaps better if you observe the few simple 
rules any good gardener observes. 
It has been said that if your garden will grow 
good weeds it will grow good dahlias and we 
believe that is true only don’t try to grow both 
in the same garden.
