GILL BROS. BLUE RIBBON DAHLIAS 
At our farms, we grew, last season, ten acres in Dahlias, representing about six hundred varieties. 
Our selections have not been limited to Oregon or the Northwest. We have disregarded geographical lines 
and have assembled the best from all the dahlia growing sections in the world. We ship dahlias all over 
the United States and Canada and have won a reputation for good dahlia bulbs that are true to name. Our 
soil produces solid, vigorous bulbs, that give splendid results in any section of the country. Practically all 
bulbs we send out are our own growing. It will pay you, in the purchase of dahlias, to buy direct from 
a grower who can supply his own stock as this lessens the chance of mistakes. 
DAHLIA GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all bulbs we send out to grow and 
be true to name, but we will not be responsible for 
any more than the purchase price represented by 
replacement of bulbs. In case of dahlias not grow¬ 
ing, they must be returned to us by July 1, of the 
season when purchased, with our labels attached. 
Sometimes bulbs are slow to sprout, but if at the 
end of 20 days they have not done so, remove the 
earth carefully from the bulb and, if still dormant, 
return it to us. We can send you another at once. 
However, if it reaches us too late for planting that 
season, we will book the order for filling the season 
following. Flowers considered untrue to name should 
be sent to us by parcel post for verification. Any 
extras we may include free in orders are not sub¬ 
ject to this guarantee. 
DAHLIA ORDERS 
Will be filled during April and May, but may be 
sent to us any time for booking, and will be filled 
in the rotation received. No dahlia orders will be 
filled after June 1, except collections, which will be 
sent up to June 15 if stock is unsold. Orders for 
dahlias of $10.00 or more (collections not included) 
may select 10 per cent of the amount, extra in 
dahlias as a premium. ALL DAHLIA PRICES 
POSTPAID.
