GREETINGS FOR 1940 
As the new year starts us on our way I wish to thank my 
customers for the orders sent me and the recommendations 
made to their friends also, trust I may be able to serve you 
again the coming season. 
Every year I buy what I consider the best of the new intro¬ 
ductions at a considerable expense to keep up to the times 
and will gladly show you these any time you visit my gar¬ 
dens in the blooming season. 
If you buy a root or plant that does not grow, just advise 
us, as some roots that show an eye when shipped will not 
always grow. I get new ones from other growers at from* 
$10.00 to $25.00 each and have to get replacements of some. 
So do not just condemn the commercial grower, they are 
human. Write and get an adjustment. 
Yours respectfully, 
A. T. EDISON 
Special Information 
All orders, large or small, will be appreciated, and if you 
send in the names of five or more of your Dahlia friends 
with an order of $2.00 or more, I will add a root or plant 
of 50c or more value free to your order. Have your friends 
write a card for our catalogue if you are not sending in an 
order, and names with it. Or if you do not wish to keep our 
book and care to pass it on to some one interested it will be 
appreciated. 
State and Federal Inspected Roots and Plants 
We ship roots and plants that have been inspected and all 
out of the state orders will be accompanied by a certificate 
of inspection. 
My modern King Greenhouse is fully equipped to grow 
plants and we grow and ship them in 3 x 3 x 3 in. bands 
which hold twice as much dirt as a 3-inch pot, and it stands 
to reason they are stronger and bettter. 
I do not try to meet the ridiculous prices some offer plants 
at, as you get what you pay for, always.
