Special Information 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
^VOID disappointment by ordering early. Quantities are very 
limited on some varieties and you will be assured of the best 
selection by making prompt reservation. 
Unless otherwise specified, root orders will be shipped between 
April 15 and May 1. Earlier shipments not recommended or guar¬ 
anteed against freezing, drying out or rotting. Green plants are 
usually shipped between May 15 and June 10. 
Please make your order amount to $2.00' or more. It actually 
costs us as much to handle a $2.00 order as it does to ship a 
$5.00 or $10.00 order. The same amount of detail work, inspec¬ 
tion, packing, carton and handling is required. 
Our quotations include all ordinary transportation charges fully 
prepaid. If you wish "Special Delivery,” add 25c to your remit¬ 
tance. We recommend that green plants should travel Special 
Delivery to insure prompt and careful handling. 
While our terms are invariably "Cash with Order,” we will, 
as a matter of accommodation, book your order upon receipt 
of a deposit of 25% of the amount of the order — balance to be 
paid before delivery time. Positively no C.O.D. orders accepted. 
Special Planting Instructions accompany every root or plant 
order. These instructions cover all of the necessary details of 
Dahlia culture, including: preparation of ground, planting, fertili¬ 
zation, disbudding and pruning, digging root crop and winter 
storage. 
Order early and keep a copy of your order. All orders are 
acknowledged the same day as received by us and stock is imme¬ 
diately selected and reserved for you.
