arters For The Finest Commercial Cut-Flower 
DAHLIAS 
Our 1940 growing season was very much more fa- 
vorable than the previous year and as a result we have 
harvested a very fine crop of roots. While we have 
made every effort to increase our stocks of some of the 
old popular kinds that were about to become extinct 
there is still a great shortage of many favorite varieties. 
In fact, if there is an increased cal! for roots arising 
out of the much better demand for flowers that pre- 
vailed in 1940, this shortage will be felt on practically 
the entire list of commercial kinds. 
Despite increased growing costs our low prices are 
being maintained for it is our desire to encourage the 
more general use of Dahlias. 
The war has just about cut off the importation of 
newer varieties from Europe but we follow the American 
introductions closely and add them to our list as soon 
as their value is demonstrated. 
Our wide list of satisfied customers, extending 
through every Dahlia using State of this country and 
many foreign lands, is proof of our desire and ability 
to serve with satisfaction. New customers will find us 
just as anxious to please them. 
To Help Many customers ask us to recommend a list of 
varieties suitable to their purpose and in re- 
Make Your. :p0"e to this request we have divided our whole 
S | é list of large flowering varieties into three main 
groups as under: 
Varieties Designated - - - 
88% = This group is intended for those who want the leading com- 
mercial kinds in the low price range of roots. 
* 3 This list contains kinds that have excellent cut flower quali- 
ties, but, being newer or rarer, are higher priced. 
* These are mainly intended for garden use. Most of these 
have larger flowers which are usually too bulky or soft for 
general commercial use. 
The initials behind each variety designate (1. D.) Informal Dec- 
orative; (F.D.) Formal Decorative; (C.) Cactus; (S.C.) Semi Cactus.
