CURTIS DAHLIAS

Growing the New and Better 
Dahlias for Profit as Well 
as For Pleasure. 
Does it seem extravagant to pay $5.00 for a fine new dahlia 
that perhaps will win a blue ribbon for you—a dahlia that you 
can watch grow and then realize that you have a flower that 
is seen in few gardens? Your visitors perhaps will want to 
buy a root of it and by selling only 2 roots at half price you 
have your purchase price back and still have roots left for 
planting the next year, and for years to come. It surely is 
an investment for profit as well as pleasure.

shipment of stock. 
MINIMUM ORDER. On all orders less than $2.00, add 10c 
for postage. All orders $2.00 and up delivered prepaid. 
ROOTS. All the roots we send out are of our own growing, 
grown on high, upland soil which produces strong, vigorous 
roots that are free from stunt or disease of any kind. They 
will grow and produce beautiful plants and flowers for you as 
they do for us. 
GREEN PLANTS. Our plants are propagated right, grown 
right, packed right for shipment and we guarantee them to 
carry safely to any part of the American continent, and that 
they will reach you in growing condition. We grow all our 
own plants under the best conditions possible. 
All of our dahlia plants are grown in three inch clay pots. 
We like pots better than boxes as the clay dries the plant 
out oftener and the watering and drying out process is very 
beneficial to plant life. 
Our green plants are shipped to you in special boxes that 
are guaranteed to reach you in good growing condition. 
We grow our plants in a well ventilated greenhouse and as 
cool as possible so they will be good husky plants. 
Our plants are weather hardened for ten days before ship¬ 
ping. No healthier plants can be grown than the plants we 
offer. 
An experience covering a number of years convinces us 
that if the plants are properly grown, they are in most cases 
equal to, or superior to roots. There is no question about 
them producing larger and finer blooms, and more of them 
than from roots, and usually come into bloom earlier.
