Station Announcement 
(Read Carefully) 
The season just past has been a banner one with us. 
Never have we had such wonderful growing weather 
and such a quantity of exhibition blooms. Our own 
seedlings have been a great pleasure to us and our vis¬ 
itors. We have waited patiently for the season of 1940 
to offer the world a few really GOOD new dahlias, with 
stock sufficient that a high price will not be necessary. 
We feel sure all who secure these new numbers will be 
more than pleased when they come in bloom. 
All our stock is carefully selected, well grown, well 
matured, and packed in such manner as to reach you 
safely in perfect growing condition. 
GUARANTEE —We guarantee all our stock to be in 
the best of health, true to name and properly marked, 
all ready to grow and bloom for you. No sale is com¬ 
plete until you are perfectly satisfied, and should mis¬ 
takes occur we are only too glad to rectify them. We 
are only human, and human beings do make mistakes.
