SPECIAL INFORMATION 
Please Read Carefully 
Avoid disappointment by ordering- early. Due to 
the greatest clump sale we have ever had quantities 
are very limited on some varieties and you will be 
assured of the best selections by making prompt 
reservations. 
Unless specified, roots will be shipped between 
April 15 and May 1. Earlier shipments not recom¬ 
mended or guaranteed against freezing, drying out 
or rotting. Green plants are usually shipped be¬ 
tween May 15 and June 15. 
Please make your order amount to $3.00 or 
more. It actually costs us as much to handle a 
$3.00 order as it does to ship a $5.00 to $10.00 order. 
The same amount of detail work, inspection, pack¬ 
ing, carton and handling is required. 
Our quotations include all ordinary transpor¬ 
tation charges fully paid. If you wish “Special De¬ 
livery” add 25c to your remittance. We recommend 
that green plants should travel Special Delivery to 
insure prompt and careful handling. 
Terms: Cash with order, or 25% deposit with 
order, balance before delivery. Positively no C.O.D. 
orders accepted. 
Guarantee: We guarantee every root or plant 
sent out by us to be true to name, and in healthy 
condition when received, after which our responsi¬ 
bility ceases, as we have no control over growing 
conditions. We ask that you at once notify us if 
anything is unsatisfactory when received, or if any 
root or plant does not grow after planted a reason¬ 
able time. 
Join and support the Dahlia Society of 
your state. However, if you are a member, 
join also the American Dahlia Society, Inc. 
You will receive four quarterly bulletins full 
of information on Dahlia. Send $2.00 to Louis 
C. Ailing, Secretary, 251 Court St., West 
Haven, Conn. We enclose an application 
blank for your convenience. 
We also heartily recommend the Mid- 
West Dahlia News, published quarterly and 
edited by D. O. Eldridge, 170 Talmadge St., 
Madison, Wise. Subscription $1.00 per year. 
We solicit your business. If you are not al¬ 
ready one of our valued customers, give us, at 
least, a trial order. We believe you will be pleased.
