GOOD INFORMATION 
❖ 
We are large growers and not jobbers. 
We try to please our customers at all times. 
We do not buy dahlias of failing or bankrupt growers 
to fill our orders. 
Dahlia bulbs shipped by express are rated as second 
class and are listed as perishable. 
The express company stands all loss by freeze, or dam¬ 
aged otherwise, therefore do not hesitate to have orders 
shipped in cold weather. 
Express on dahlia bulbs is very low, often it is much 
less than parcel post or freight. 
All freight and parcel post shipments travel at pur¬ 
chaser’s risk as freight companies do not insure against 
freeze. Freight shipments travel slow and are handled 
rough. First-class freight costs about the same as express. 
Be sure your express agent has given you second-class 
rates. If unable to get second-class, notify us and we will 
assist you.
