Field Grown DAHLIA ROOTS 
A NIVOTTNPEME'NT We sell only Field grown roots. Growing plants of 
x • Dahlias do not travel well, besides the field groum 
roots are more likely to give a larger and finer crop of flowers. Our customers who 
have visited our stores during the season when Dahlias were in bloom had the 
opportunity to see our exhibition of flowers cut from our growing stock, and all 
correctly labeled. Our large show windows and spacious stores give us 
unequaled facilities for displays of flowers in their season and we cordially 
invite all, whether customers or not, to visit us and take advantage of 
the opportunities given to see the various varieties and compare them. 
Out employes are instructed to afford every aid to visitors in making 
up lists and selecting varieties whether they purchase or not. All 
are welcome.
