Trade Prices for 19 S 8 
Prices are quoted per hundred tubers. Ten or more will be sold at the hundred rate. For 
less than ten tubers of one variety add 20%. Reservation orders placed in the fall and orders 
to be shipped before January 1 st. are accepted at minimum or thousand rates regardless of 
quantity ordered for any one shipment. 
10% extra count is given in all cases—, that is, 1 1 for 10, 110 for 100, etc.,—except where 
tubers are packed in special boxes or cartons ready for reshipment—to take care of any possible 
replacement claims and to help defray transportation charges. 
As packed for shipment tubers weigh approximately 15 lbs. per hundred. 
All our stock is absolutely dependable, field grown from tubers, not plants—planted early, carefully rogued and 
fully matured before dug. Stored under ideal conditions, all tubers are fresh and plump, carefully cut, trimmed and 
sorted by expert cutters-—no haggling, no broken necks, no culls—^every tuber with a good eye, full of vitality and 
sure to please your most exacting customers. No tunts, mosaic or diseased plants in our fields, and nio junk or 
untried varieties in our list. 
If tubers are to be wrapped and labelled individually for resale, add $1. per hundred to prices given. Where 
order is of sufficient size to warrant—one hundred or more tubers of a kind, and not less than ten kinds—we will, 
if desired, use a special label, similar to our regular blue label, but bearing your own name or trademark, and printed 
on stock in your own choice of color (unless color is already reserved for another customer) with our regular white 
semi-parchment wrapper, at same rate. This will enable you to offer stock under your own exclusive label.

At $10. per Thousand 
SECONDS—We should have about 200,000 second grade 
roots to spare this year for planting purposes. This stock 
is untrimmed, unstamped and unsorted, and while it is 
made up from the more than four hundred varieties of 
dahlias we grow, it is offered “as is”, without guarantee 
as to variety or viability, but with the belief that a stand 
of not less than 75% may be expected from the stock 
when planted. This is the same grade we use in our own 
planting, and while not recommended for resale, will 
make some very excellent stock for those who wish to 
make a mass display or who want plants for cut-flowers 
only. No orders accepted for less than 500 roots of this 
grade. 
At $2. per Hundred 
il5. per Thousand 
MIXED—This lot is made up from rogues as dug from 
our fields before our regular digging starts, as well as 
from surplus lots in our regular list. All roots are first 
grade and make an excellent lot to offer at 10 or 12 
for $1. 
At $2.50 per Hundred

Named varieties, each variety properly labelled, our 
selection of varieties and types, customer’s choice of 
color so far as possible, but not guaranteed. In this lot 
we include standard varieties which are especially suit¬ 
able for counter trade of Department Stores, etc., at 10c 
retail—^such varieties as will stand the frequent handling, 
exposure, etc., to which stock on open counter is subject, 
and yet will prove most satisfactory to customers.
