Dahlias of Distinction 
In making up this list of dahlias we have eliminated 
most of the varieties that make poor roots, as it is very 
hard to fill orders for these varieties and unsatisfactory if 
you lose your stock during the following winter. As there 
are so many fine new dahlias to take their places, we are 
sure they will never be missed. 
*1 The size of a root does not determine the quality or 
vitality of a dahlia. A root two or three inches long with 
a healthy sprout is more desirable for planting than one or 
more roots of a much larger size. 
The dahlias in this catalogue have been grown at Dah- 
liadel Nurseries, Vineland, N. J., by Warren W. Maytrott, 
where fifteen acres are devoted to the growing of dahlias 
* exclusively, and where nothing but the finest and newest dah¬ 
lias are grown. Any plant showing signs of weakness or 
disease is dug from the field as soon as detected, making the 
stock the cleanest and best procurable. Only the varieties 
that show the most vitality and bloom freely throughout the 
season are catalogued. The colors are bright, clear shades 
and combinations. Each year brings a finer selection than 
we have ever offered before. 
Orders will be filled with strong field-grown root-divi¬ 
sions unless an unforeseen shortage should occur, in which 
case growing plants will be sent direct from the Nurseries. 
Guarantee 
Only the best and strongest root-divisions are used in 
filling orders, and the utmost care exercised. But should 
.j an error occur, we will gladly rectify it if notified as soon 
as error is detected. Most failures in starting plants and 
roots are due to improper planting or because of attacking 
insects. No guarantee is given that plants or roots will 
grow and bloom, as that depends largely on soil, climatic 
conditions and attention. But should a root properly planted 
fail to start a shoot in two weeks after planting, return it 
to the Nurseries direct by mail and another will be sent at- 
once. 
Terms and Delivery 
Dahlia roots and plants will be sent, carriage prepaid, 
C. O. D., unless cash accompanies the order; purchaser to 
pay C. O. D. charges. If cash accompanies the order, roots 
or plants will be sent prepaid and insured, by express or by 
parcel post, whichever is better, considering distance and 
size of order.
