PREMIER DAHLIA GARDENS 
TO OUR DAHLIA LOVING FRIENDS 
The name Premier is synonymous with superior stock, 
sturdy plants and high business principals. We express 
our thanks and appreciation to those that have given 
their support and are grateful for the many letters com¬ 
mending our stock, our square dealings and telling of 
successes with the roots and plants purchased of us. We 
will continue to render the utmost in service and make 
every transaction entirely satisfactory at all times. 
Here are a few abstracts from numerous letters re¬ 
ceived: 
From Plainfield, N. J.—“I want to compliment you on 
the highest grade plants I have ever received, the Dahlia 
garden was the best ever.” 
From Charleston, S. C.—“You have sent me without 
error what I have ordered in every case, and have always 
given me fine quality.” 
From North Carolina—“The beautiful plants received 
in grand condition. They are the best I ever purchased; 
Can’t thank you enough.” 
From Long Island. N. Y.—‘‘Never saw plants in such 
good condition. The way they were packed they would 
keep a long time.” , 
From Brooklyn, N. Y.—‘‘Plants and roots ordered of 
you are doing finely—Was more than satisfied with re¬ 
sults last season.” 
From Alabama—‘‘It is a great pleasure to do business 
with you.” 
From Ohio—‘‘I never have received finer looking, 
better packed plants. They are nice, stocky fellows that 
carried perfectly.” 
From Oregon—‘‘Plants arrived in fine condition with 
exception of one which was broken. All are growing 
fine.” Note:—36 plants made up this 1933 shipment, 
and a subsequent order of 19 34 went thru in perfect 
condition. 
From Long Island, N. Y.—‘Have just finished digging 
the plants I received from you and they certainly made 
fine clumps and I am more than pleased.” 
From Bloomfield, N. J.—‘‘Have grown Dahlias for 
over 20 years, but since dealing with you for the past 
three seasons I have had new wonderful results, and 
have won many prizes with the wonderful stock plants 
obtained of you.” 
From Devon, Pa.—‘‘My Dahlias have been very good 
this season, thanks to your good clean stock, and I will 
do business with you again next season.” 
We use our best efforts to keep our stock absolutely 
healthy and free from disease by the destruction of 
‘‘stunts” and by discarding those that do not come true. 
OUR GREEN PLANTS are grown so as to give the 
maximum of results equal or superior to root stock. 
This is only accomplished by the selection of healthy 
vigorous roots benched in a moderate heat that will 
enable us to take stocky base cuttings. Only a reason¬ 
able number of cuttings are taken and none used that 
are spindly. After cuttings are rooted and potted and 
begin to grow they are moved to cooler quarters and 
later shifted to larger pots; at this stage small tubers 
are beginning to form, assuring that clumps will be 
obtained at digging time; the plants are later hardened 
off in ‘‘outside quarters” so as to withstand shipping 
and be in condition for planting out. 
We have kept our list of varieties limited by retain-
