produce blooms that vary somewhat from color described.

must be obtained from the Secretary of the Destructive Insect and Pest Act Advisory 
Board, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Ont. We must know the number of your

EARLY SHIPMENT NOTICE

As we are supplying commercial growers with the best in Dahlias ,and because 
of their constant request for early shipments, we wash to state thait we use great care 
to protect any and all shipments so that the shipment will arrive at its destination in 
the best possible condition. But it is understood that WE ASSUME NO RESPONSI¬ 
BILITY FOR INJURY BY FREEZING OR OTHERWISE ON ANY ORDERS SHIPPED 
BEFORE APRIL 1st. We advise the shipping of early orders by express, as the express 
concerns are liable for any kind of loss while in transit. Parcel Post packages are not 
or cannot be insured against loss by freezing. They are only insured to guarantee 
delivery at destination, but special attention is given perishable shipments by mail. In 
all our experience in shipping early orders, very few have failed to reach the purchaser 
in the best of condition, but still we wish to protect ourselves as many orders are large 
and very valuable. Therefore we urge again express shipments up to April 1st. Protect 
yourself by requesting express shipment before the above date.
