Dear Mr. Edison: 
This letter grants you permission to 
name a dahlia after me, THE JACK BENNY 
DAHLIA. I consider this a great honor 
and distinction. 
With all good wishes, believe me 
Always Sincerely,

ORDER EARLY—As orders are filled in rotation—field- 
grown roots or thrifty plants if ordered — ordering early 
will insure the reservation of varieties that later may be 
sold out. Orders are filled with varieties called for, and 
unless substitution is asked, I never substitute. Please 
make your orders $2.00 or more, if possible, as it costs us 
iust as much to handle a small order as one from $5.00 to 
$10.00: The same amount of work as packing cartons, 
handling, inspection, etc., is required. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT—Unless otherwise ordered, tubers 
will be shipped between April 15th and May 1st (plants 
can be had up to June 10th), by express or insured mail 
at my expense, on all orders over $3.00; under $2.00 add 
15c for postage. If Special Delivery or Extra Handling is 
wanted on plants, add 25c extra. It hastens delivery on 
plants. 
Special Delivery and Special Handling travel the same as 
first class mail while regular Parcel Post is fourth class 
mail. It pays to include the small extra charge to assure 
prompt delivery. 
TERMS— Cash with order unless parties are known to me. 
No goods sent C. O. D. unless 50 percent o'f purchase 
price accompanies order. We will hold your order for you 
if a deposit of 25% is made, balance to be remitted before 
shipment is made. 
REMITTANCES should be made by bank draft, postoffice 
money order or registered letter. Postage stamps accepted 
up to $2.00. Coin should not be sent by letter unless 
registered. 
ERRORS— While my system for handling orders is as near 
perfect as possible, yet in the rush of business, errors are 
possible to occur, and I wish to be promptly notified of 
such and will at once make some satisfactory adjustment. 
Make all complaints to me, not to your friends, as we 
aim to please. 
NAME AND ADDRESS — Remember to write your Name, 
Fostoffice, County and State, also give Street Number or 
P. O. Box as plainly as possible.
