ROOTED CUTTINGS 
WE CAN SUPPLY ROOTED CUTTINGS of the newer varieties at 1-3 less than 
Ihe cost of plants. We do not, however, recommend them for early shipments as 
they lack the necessary “hardening off” to withstand the change from inside to 
outside temperature. Proper facilities are needed and time required to give them 
the care essential to grow them to worth-while plants.

UNSOLICITED LETTERS RECEIVED THE PAST SEASON 
From La Mesa, California — “Your Premier’s Winsome has given real hand¬ 
some blooms that have been admired by visitors. At our show on the 2 6th one 
grower had two blooms in his display which measured 14 inches across, and they 
were surely beauties.” 
From Chester, Missouri — “This season I grew many new Dahlias and re¬ 
gardless of color or classification, I can say, unqualifiedly, that “PREMIER’S 
WINSOME” led the parade by three lengths.” 
From Grand Rapids, Michigan — “Your Winsome was fine last season.” 
From Jersey City, N. J. — “Premier’s Winsome and Majestic were grand this 
year and were greatly admired by many visitors to my Dahlia patch. I intend to 
greatly increase my plantings of both next season.” 
From Atlanta, Georgia — “Winsome just got better till frost; it is a grand 
pink.”
