HERE ARE A FEW ABSTRACTS FROM NUMEROUS 
VOLUNTARY LETTERS RECEIVED THE 
PAST SEASON 
# 
From Conway, S. C.—“Your dahlias have been very 
satisfactory to me. I like to deal with you because you 
are fair and prompt, always giving good stock and fine 
service." 
From Scranton, Pa.—“I am more than satisfied with 
the stock I bought from you and certainly one can’t 
expect any nearer 100% good grow/th than I had 
from your plants this season." 
From Raleigh, N. C.—“The plants we received of 
you were perfect in foliage and blooms; We made 23 
entries and won 19 firsts and 3 seconds; We also won 
with everything we entered at the State Fair." 
From Waverly, Pa.—“I must say that the dahlias 
which I purchased from you were more than satisfactory 
and the results obtained far better than I had any idea 
they could be.” 
From New Vienna, O.—“The blooms from the plants 
I bought of you were the finest I ever seen." 
From Covington, Ga.—“All the plants I bought of you 
last Spring did fine except one." 
From Devon, Pa.—“I have had one of my most suc¬ 
cessful seasons, thanks to you and your good stock."

OUR GREEN PLANTS are grown so as to give the 
maximum of results equal or superior to root stock. 
This is only accomplished by the selection of healthy 
vigorous roots benched in a moderate heat that will 
enable us to take stocky base cuttings. Only a reason¬ 
able number of cuttings are taken and none used that 
are spindly. After cuttings are rooted and potted and 
begin to grow they are moved to cooler quarters and 
later shifted to larger pots; at this stage small tubers 
are beginning to form, assuring that clumps will be 
obtained at digging time; the plants are later hardened 
off in “outside quarters" so as to withstand shipping 
and be in condition for planting out. 
We have kept our list of varieties limited by retain¬ 
ing a very high percentage of those that are placed on 
the “Honor Roll" consecutive seasons.
