TRANSPORTATION 
A LL prices in this catalog include transportation 
charges to the nearest postoffice, express or 
freight station. The transportation system is our se¬ 
lection unless otherwise agreed to. We do not as¬ 
sume the carrier’s responsibility. 
The prices on dahlias are for root separation. We 
grow a great many green plants each year, espe¬ 
cially of the expensive varieties, which we can sup¬ 
ply at a considerable saving in cost. We suggest a 
trial of these plants. Perhaps you will like them 
better than roots. We ship them in the soil they are 
growing in. Write us about your requirements. 
Dahlia shipments will go forward about April 15 
unless otherwise specified. 
The dahlia classification in this catalog are the 
new form adopted by the American Dahlia Society.

curved, Recurved or Straight; “S-C” Semi-Cactus; 
“FD” Formal Decorative; “ID” Informal Decora¬ 
tive; “MD” Miniature Decorative; “P” Peony; 
“PP” Pompon.
