GREETINGS.—It is a pleasure to present you this folder containing in my belief 
the best in up-to-date dahlias. Most any variety will win for you at our best 
shows or attract much attention in your garden. 
Many thanks to everyone of you who have advised me personally or sent fine 
letters stating that my previous introductions are really great exhibition dahlias. 
I feel confident that my new dahlias, “Jean Johnston” and “Roulette” will make 
just as impressive record. While my new dahlias won achievement medals this past 
season the real enjoyment comes when I learn of your winnings. 
Although the foreign dahlias are briefly described they are first class exhibition 
varieties. The new pompons and miniatures are truly outstanding. 
STOCK.—Every root or plant will reach you in good growing condition, beyond 
this no warranty is expressed or implied. Not responsible for roots secured before 
April 1st. Considering high quality my prices give you more for your money.
