GAIN WE express greetings to our Dahlia friends, old 
MIL and new, in presenting our 1937 Dahlia catalog. You 
# % will find listed here only late American and Foreign 
introductions and standard varieties of real merit. We do 
not include all new introductions, but only such varieties that 
have been selected for their superiority in color, perfection of 
form, length and stiffness of stem, continuous blooming and 
keeping qualities. 
OUR STOCK consists of the highest quality field and pot- 
grown Dahlia roots. They are fully guaranteed true to 
name and to arrive in good growing condition. With reason¬ 
able care they will produce for the grower a large quantity 
of high-class flowers. 
ROOTS AND GREEN PLANTS will give equally good results, 
if plants are given immediate care upon arrival. Our 
plants are all base cuttings; strong, hardy lath-house grown 
stock. Packed by experts in ventilated containers, the plants 
travel safely on a six-day trip. 
WE SUPPLY roots after January I; plants from May I to 
September. For terms of sale and guarantee, see last page.
