Planting Time Collections 
Every season, when I begin to plant, 
about June Ist I usually have more 
Dahlias of some varieties than I care 
to plant — and this year I am offering 
these surplus kinds in assortments of... 
12 for... $1.25 Postpaid 
All different and labeled true to name! 
Many of the Dahlias in these collec- 
tions are 25 to 35 cent kinds in my cata- 
log, and more elsewhere. 

A customer who had seen my Dahlias growing 
in the field last fall writes, “Your flowers were a 
sight of indescribable beauty!” 
“I was so thrilled with each and every one that 
I could hardly leave.” 
“The cleanliness of ground and bushes told 
plainly of all the hours of labor you have spent 
among them; and the enormous blooms just seem 
to shout a ‘Thank You’.” 
“It was such a beautiful day, and the cars just 
kept stopping to look! We did not have time to visit 
the other gardens this time; and anyway, I am satis- 
fied in ordering my bulbs from you.” . 
“Well, I picked some varieties and would like to 
know prices. - - - Yours sincerely - - - etc.” 
New Introduction for 1941 
Queen of the Cascades - sEMtc. 
A huge pure white semi-cactus dahlia. The blooms are 
immense — about 10 inches or more across by 7 or 8 inches 
deep. Strong rigid stems holds the big massive blooms high 
above the foliage. Of the tall, strong plants, it is truly one of 
the largest and finest pure white dahlias that I have seen 
up to date. This wonderful dahlia should be a blue ribbon 
winner at the leading shows, as it has every desirable 
quality necessary to place it in a class with the very best. 
I have grown this Dahlia for the past three years from roots 
(not propagated for plants) so its type and color is thoroughly 
fixed. I have a sufficient supply of good strong roots to offer 
at a reasonable price that every dahlia fan can afford.

NOTE— Ai letter from one of my customers who had seen 
this Dahlia growing in my field this last fall writes:— 
“When your seedling, “Queen of the Cascades”, started 
on the market, let me know and I must have one of those 
beautiful things. You may well be proud of that huge bloom 
and wonderful stem - - - Of all the white sorts I have seen, 
that is my ideall”
