Dahlias for Counter Trade 
Floral and seed stores and nurser¬ 
ies who operate retail stores during 
the planting season always prefer to 
have tubers wrapped and labelled in¬ 
dividually, especially for counter 
trade. 
At a small extra charge of $1. per 
hundred, or one cent per tuber, we 
pack each tuber in fine, clean saw¬ 
dust, wrap in white semi-parchment 
and seal with our special printed blue 
label, showing name of variety, type 
and predominating color. By this 
method tubers are kept fresh _ and 
plump for weeks, and there is no 
breaking of sprouts or mixing of 
varieties through frequent handling. 
Stock presents a more salable appear¬ 
ance—in fact, looks like a Christmas 
package—and customers can pick 
out just what variety or type or 
color they want from label descrip¬ 
tion. 
Furthermore, customers know that 
stock is of known origin and not a 
cheap job lot of tubers, and are 
willing to pay more for it because 
they feel that they are sure of 
getting genuine stock that is really 
worth more than ordinary stock such 
as is usually offered at che “five and 
ten” stores. 
By actual test, placing this stock 
side by side with bulk stock, it will 
outsell such stock two to one, even 
when offered at twice the price. Try 
it and see for yourself which stock 
will make you the most money. 
The D. V. Burrell Seed Growers 
Co., of Rocky Ford, Colo., say, “We 
believe this demand (for seeds of 
known origin) will grow until plant¬ 
ers will require from their seedsmen 
seeds in the grower’s original sealed 
packages.” This should apply to 
other nursery products, and we be¬ 
lieve we were the first, and so far 
as we know are still the only, grow¬ 
er to offer dahlias for resale in 
original packages.
