Don’t you think it would be to your 
advantage to tie up with a grower 
Who makes a business of raising 
dahlias, and nothing else, exclusively 
fo r the wholesale trade; 
Who raises stock enough to meet 
your entire requirements for the 
season; 
Who has supplied many of the lead¬ 
ing seed and nursery houses of the 
country for years; 
Who has a reputation for supplying 
absolutely dependable stock at prices 
which are based on actual cost of 
production; 
Who is equipped to take care of 
your orders whether for stock in 
bulk or wrapped and packed to meet 
any special requirements; and 
Who is able to finance you until 
your stock has been sold and money 
received for same in the Spring? 
Our Reservation 
Order Plan 
We realize that it would be al¬ 
most impossible for you to place a 
definite order to cover your entire 
season’s dahlia requirements i n ad¬ 
vance. Yet you do not want to offer 
a list of dahlias in your catalog un¬ 
less you are reasonably sure of your 
supply when needed. 
In view of these facts, we ask our 
customers to send us a reservation 
order, which is a tentative, rather 
than a definite, order covering an 
outside estimate of your require¬ 
ments for the coming season. When 
we receive such an order we set aside 
the required number of tubers and 
hold them for you until May 1. Up 
to that time you may order against 
this reservation as tubers are needed 
and same will be shipped to you 
promptly upon receipt o'f your order. 
By this plan you are absolutely sure 
of your supply at a uniform price 
throughout the season and know 
that you will be able to get your 
stock as and when it is needed most; 
and in case you do not sell the en¬ 
tire number of tubers reserved, you 
know that you do not have to accept 
and pay for a lot of tubers for 
which you have no use. 
And to avoid disappointment, be 
sure to get your reservation order in 
early while the cream of our list is' 
still available. 
Don’t give up the plant and bulb 
end of your business just because 
you happen to live in the beetle zone 
and don’t want to be bothered by 
quarantine regulations. We can fill 
your dahlia orders direct from here 
and you’ll undoubtedly be able to 
find reliable growers outside the 
beetle zone who can fill you r orders 
for plants, shrubs and other nursery 
stock on the same plan. 
Remembe r we do not issue a re¬ 
tail catalog, and our name does not 
appear on any orders shipped direct 
to your customers. We sell to the 
legitimate trade only and you may 
be absolutely certain that you cus¬ 
tomers addresses are held in strict¬ 
est confidence because all orders are 
known by number only in our re¬ 
cords. 
RUTH VAUGHAN 
SOLD 
Late in July we announced our 
new pink decorative dahlia RUTH 
VAUGHAN. As soon as this an¬ 
nouncement was received the R. M. 
Kellogg Company of Three Rivers, 
Michigan, contracted for the entire 
1935 crop of this variety which 
would of course make them the only 
source from which it could be ob¬ 
tained in Spring of 1936. We hope 
to have a larger planting of Ruth 
Vaughan next year when it will 
again be offered to our customers. 
RUTH VAUGHAN has genuine 
merit, and we are absolutely sincere 
in our belief that it is the finest pink 
dahlia that has been offered since 
Jersey’s Beauty was introduced. By 
this we do not mean to claim that 
it is a better variety, because, well, 
there just isn’t any such thing; but 
of the many pinks of recent intro¬ 
duction we believe Ruth Vaughan is 
the best in the bunch. Of course 
stock is somewhat limited as yet, but 
keep this variety in mind. It will 
make you money in years to come.
