GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS FOR 1937 
We take great pleasure in presenting our 193 7 de¬ 
scriptive catalog of high class dahlias as grown in our 
gardens. Realizing that to list an enormous number of 
dahlias is confusing and can serve no good purpose, we 
have listed only those of superior merit. 
We desire to thank our many customers for their 
liberal patronage during the past seasons and for the 
many kind letters telling of their success they had with 
our dahlias, both in the gardens and show room. We 
ceaselessly endeavor to maintain a reputation for fair¬ 
ness, integrity and trustworthiness to do a clean bus¬ 
iness, satisfactory to our customers. Our business comes 
from those who send us their orders year after year, they 
know they can depend on us for good stock and a square 
deal. 
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
Our stock is all true to name, and guaranteed to 
arrive in a growing condition. We will cheerfully replace 
any that prove otherwise, if notified promptly. 
We never substitute, unless directed, and will prompt¬ 
ly refund the money for any order or part of order we 
are unable to fill. 
We pay all delivery charges and must request pay¬ 
ment in full before order is shipped. All orders will be 
shipped about May I, unless otherwise requested. Please 
write your name and address plainly. Order early and 
avoid disappointment, as some varieties may be sold out 
If you wait. 
Full cultural directions with each order, if requested. 
We do not grow green plants as they do not give satis¬ 
faction. If you do not see listed what you want, write, 
»we may have it but failed to list same. Quotations on 
any popular variety. Any new varieties will be furnished 
at the prices quoted by the originators. 
We have Dahlias in collections at $1.00, $2.00, $2.50, 
$3.50 and $5.00 per dozen, our selection, all labeled, ex¬ 
cept $1.00 collections, all different as long as stock lasts. 
The best buy in the catalog for the money, and the only 
way for one who is not familiar with Dahlias to buy, or 
you may pick your own collection, as follows: 12 of any 
one priced Dahlia, for the price of 10. For example 12 
25c Dahlias for $2.50 and etc. All different. All one 
kind. Or as many of the different kinds as you wish.

and amber shaded Strawberry red. ,Large 
flowers with serragated petals, on a long cane 
like stem, and although the blooms are old and 
faded, they never lose their petals. A wonder¬ 
ful cut flower and a fine keeper when cut. $10.00 
Hoosier Sunshine, (F. D.) (1936)—This is one of 
the most pleasing yellows we have ever grown. 
Large flowers on long wirey stems, the outer 
edges of the petals are white, giving the flower 
the appearance of being dusted with snow. 
Very profuse bloomer. This dahlia should be 
topped as it will grow too tall, being topped 
it will carry 12 or more large blooms at a time 
and will make a beautiful showing. $10.00
