DAHLIAS 
P LAN NOW for an attractive Dahlia garden. In this 1938 
catalog to our Dahlia friends, old and new, you will find 
listed only late American and Foreign introductions and 
standard varieties of real merit—all nationally known 
prize winners and recognized as outstanding leaders in the 
Dahlia world. 
OUR STOCK consists of the highest quality field and pot- 
grown Dahlia roots. They are fully guaranteed true to name 
and to arrive in good growing condition. With reasonable 
care they will produce for the grower a large quantity of 
fine flowers. 
POT CLUMPS, excellent for propagating and producers of high 
class flowers, are available from a ten-inch at 25 per cent 
more than the root price, eight-inch at the root price and 
four-inch at the plant price. 
ROOTS AND GREEN PLANTS will give equally good results, 
if plants are given immediate care on arrival. Our plants 
are all base cuttings; strong, hardy lath-house grown stock. 
Packed by experts in ventilated containers, the plants travel 
safely on a six-day trip. 
WE SUPPLY roots after January 1 ; plants from May 1 to 
September. For terms of sale and guarantee, see last page.
