GAIN I present a message of friendly greet- 
““ ing to my many friends, old and new, and 
to thank you one and all for your past patronage. 
I believe we are filling a real need in offering 
our small flowering dahlias to you. 
We were Pioneers in this line, being the first 
in the Midwest to make a specialty of small 
flowering dahlias. We have taken first prizes 
for three successive years on our Miniature Dah¬ 
lia displays at the big Michigan shows. We are 
able to offer the proven best of small dahlias, 
whether needed for artistic arrangements for 
your home, masses of gay color for landscape 
effect, or only for your small garden. 
Visitors to our gardens are always welcome. 
Be sure to come in June to see our outstanding 
Delphinium, in September and October for Dah¬ 
lias. We have many more varieties than listed 
in this catalogue. 
Culture —Miniature dahlias need no disbud¬ 
ding, very little, if any, pruning and can be 
planted closer than the larger varieties for land¬ 
scaping. They should not be heavily fertilized 
or overwatered, but grown rather poor the same 
as pompons. 
Terms—C ash with order. 
Postage paid on orders of $2.00 or over. 
Roots shipped after April 15th unless other¬ 
wise specified. Plants after May 15th; add 250 
extra for special delivery of green plants. 
All stock guaranteed true to name and all roots 
and plants in good growing condition upon arriv¬ 
al. I do not substitute.
