What We Say Is So 
The following letters tell the story. You can depend on 
everything in this catalogue.

Peacock Dahlia Farms, Berlin, N. J. 
Gentlemen :—Last spring we purchased several dozen of your 
dahlia, Queen Elizabeth, on your recommendation, but with con¬ 
siderable fear and trembling, for the reason we have often been 
disappointed in buying new varieties that we have not seen, yet 
were boomed by the originators or introducers. 
Want to say that we have been most delightfully disappointed 
in this item for it is proving a most wonderful dahlia, coming up 
to all you claim for it and far surpassing our expectations. 
The plants are robust and are almost covered with the large 
blossoms, on long, strong stems which hold the blossoms well up 
on the plant, so the mass of bloom can be seen at a long distance. 
It is proving very good also for cutting. In short, we could not 
at this time suggest an improvement. 
Please quote us at once your price, wholesale, on this variety 
for next spring delivery. 
Also, as we wish to feature QUEEN ELIZABETH in our next 
catalogue, we would like to secure from you a photo or the 
photo from which the cut was made that you used on your own 
catalogue. 
We are also interested in a cut of Golden West, as used on back 
of your catalogue. Think we would not run in colors, but just 
black and white, though colors sure do show up fine as you 
have used them. 
Yours very truly, THE J. D. LONG SEED CO.

Dear Sirs: —I should have written to you long ago to thank 
you for your kindness in sending me some choice bulbs last spring 
which all did well and bore the most magnificent blooms I ever 
saw and I have been the envy of the whole neighborhood. 
Some of the Dahlias I got from you started blooming along the 
middle of July and continued a mass of bloom until near the end 
of October when some frost came along and put them out of 
business. Our hospital here was well supplied while they bloomed 
and many a patient expressed their gratitude for the flowers. 
I would like to get your catalogue for next spring. Again 
thanking you. 
Sincerely yours, J. C. CAMPBELL. 
We will send free on request our pamphlet on culture.

Gentlemen :—Please advise if you issue a Catalog or Price List 
covering the Dahlias grown on your farms. 
I have your treatise on the Dahlia and it is the best I have 
seen as yet. The grouping of the Dahlias into their various 
classifications, with the names of the best varieties leaves little 
to be desired. 
Please also advise as to the best way to reach your farms, 
by rail. 
Yours very truly, J. W. WELBORNE.

Dear Sir: — I have read your book on “Dahlias" and appre¬ 
ciate it. Have followed your instructions and as it is my first 
year in growing Dahlias, have had very satisfactory results. 
Yours truly, E. C. BREX.
