General Information 
Please Read Carefully 
ORDER EARLY 
Kindly place your order as early as possible. In order to impress upon our cus¬ 
tomers the importance of our having your order at once, we are discontinuing our 
former policy of requiring a deposit with the order. Just send in your order. Later, 
if you desire, we shall be glad to make any changes to meet your final needs. 
Early orders will be rewarded with a nice variety as an extra. Indicate on your 
order when you wish to be billed for the roots or plants. Roots will be sent C. O. D. 
if desired, but we can not send plants in that way. 
LIMITED STOCKS 
The crop of roots harvested throughout the country last fall was one of the lightest 
in several years, due to generally unfavorable growing weather. In our fields about 
one-fourth of our planting was a total loss due to the excessive rains of early spring. 
POSTAGE 
We pay the regular postage on all retail orders. If plants are wanted "special 
delivery" or "special handling" include enough with remittance to cover the addi¬ 
tional charges. 
GUARANTEE 
All stock shipped by the Rocky River Dahlia Gardens is guaranteed to be true 
to name, free from disease, and in good growing condition, upon arrival at its 
destination. Please report errors as soon as apparent, for replacement.

Our prices are for good quality stock, carefully grown and handled, and are as 
low as is consistent with good service, liberal replacement policies, extras that 
please, and the supply of the variety.
