fore February 1st. All shipments prior to April 1st, except on the Pacific Coast, are sent by

WE GUARANTEE that all roots are sent true to name and in good growing condition, but beyond this 
assume no responsibility other than the original price of the root. Prices listed are for strong 
field grown root divisions. We do not make green plants of our dahlies, feeling they will be 
heavily propagated in this manner after they leave our hands. Consequently, we have no 
clumps for sale. This year we have omitted from our catalogue a number of the older varieties 
that no longer sell. 
TERMS—CASH WITH ORDER or before date of shipment. On retail orders for California delivery 
3% should be added to the amount to comply with the Sales Tax Law. 
FULL DIRECTIONS for the care of your dahlia garden are enclosed with each shipment.
