Again we are pleased to submit our annual catalogue. 
In spite of the Hurricane, we have harvested the finest crop 
of dahlia roots we have ever grown, due to the unusually long 
growing season. 
In addition to our own introductions, we have listed those 
of other growers that we know to be good. 
Our standard list includes such dahlias of other years that 
continue to be prize winners throughout the country, thereby 
proving their worth. 
This we mention only to convince you that we offer the very 
best varieties worthy of your selection. 
There was a large increase last year in our sale of plants. 
In part we attribute this to the change in our price policy of re¬ 
ducing the price of plants from 50% of the root price to 333/3%, 
thereby making it possible to obtain three plants of one variety 
or one plant each of three varieties for the price of one root. 
Bear in mind when you buy that a plant produces just as good 
a clump of tubers and usually better blooms than roots. 
We shall continue this policy assuring you that the quality 
of our plants will be the same as heretofore; that is, full grown 
plants raised and shipped in three inch pots. All roots and 
plants will be shipped under the RUSCHMOHR GUARANTEE as 
healthy and true to name. 
Our greenhouse has been certified by the United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture and is inspected frequently. Every root 
and plant we ship out of the quarantined area for Japanese Beetle 
and European Corn Borer is examined by a United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture Inspector who renders a certificate upon 
the completion of inspection of each individual shipment. 
We anticipate a shortage of some varieties and ask you 
therefore, in order to avoid disappointment, to order your dahlia 
requirements early. 
We never make substitutions unless authorized. 
Remittances must accompany orders. 
We prepay postage on all retail orders of $3.00 and over.
