GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS FOR 1938 
We take great pleasure in presenting our 1938 de 
scriptive catalog of high class dahlias as grown in our 
gardens. Realizing that to list an enormous number of 
dahlias is confusing and can serve no good purpose, we 
have listed only those of superior merit. 
We desire to thank our many customers for their 
liberal patronage during the past seasons and for the 
many kind letters telling of their success they had with 
our dahlias, both in the gardens and show room. We 
ceaselessly endeavor to maintain a reputation for fair¬ 
ness, integrity and trustworthiness to do a clean busi¬ 
ness, satisfactory to our customers. Our business comes 
from those who send us their orders year after year. They 
know they can depend on us for good stock and a square 
deal. ' 
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
Our stock is all true to name, and guaranteed to 
arrive in a growing condition. We will cheerfully replace 
any that prove otherwise, if notified promptly. 
We never substitute, unless directed, and will promptly 
refund the money for any order or part of order we are 
unable to fill. 
We pay all delivery charges and must request payment 
in full before order is shipped. All orders will be shipped 
about May I, unless otherwise requested. Please write 
your name and address plainly. Order early and avoid 
cfjsappointment, as some varieties may be sold out if you 
wait. 
Full cultural directions with each order, if requested. 
We do not grow green plants as they do not give satis¬ 
faction. If you do not see listed what you want, write, 
we may have it but failed to list same. Quotations on 
any popular variety. Any new varieties will be furnished 
at the prices quoted by the originators. 
We have Dahlias in collections at $1.00, $2.00, $2.50, 
$3.50 and $5.00 per dozen, our selection, all labeled, ex¬ 
cept $1,00 collections, all different as long as stock lasts. 
The best buy in the catalog for the money, and the only 
way for one who is not familiar with Dahlias to buy, or 
you may pick your own collection, as follows: 12 of any 
one priced Dahlia, for the price of 10. For example, 12 
25c Dahlias for $2.50, etc. All different. All one kind. 
Or as many of the different kinds as you wish.

OUR RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 
Roots 
Ruth Carmen, (I. D.) (1938)—Very large and 
beautifully shaped flowers. Stems that will 
hold up such a flower and will attain a length of 
three feet or more. Deep yellow in the center 
of the blooms, which fades to a white around 
the edges, giving the flower the appearance of 
having a halo around it. Keeps well when cut 
and one that you can win with in any competi¬ 
tion. Also excellent as a cut flower tho it is 
rather large for florists’ use. $25.00
