BOOK ORDERS EARLY 
We wish to advise our customers and friends of con- 
ditions that relate to the supply on Dahlias. The hot dry 
summer this past season has destroyed much of the Dahlia 
crop, and the stock on quite a number of varieties is very 
short. Our opinion is the demand for Dahlias will be much 
greater than ever before. We advise our customers to book 
their orders now to insure getting varieties wanted. 10 per 
cent deposit will hold vour order for shipment at any time 
you desire. 
DAHLIAS A SPECIALTY 
We specialize in Dahlias and grow over a thousand varieties. 
We only list varieties of which we have sufficient stock to fill orders 
during the entire season. Should you desire a variety that is not 
listed, kindly advise us, as we can furnish many varieties not listed. 
When shipping dahlia orders we always add extra roots. We 
guarantee roots to reach you with a living eye and in good growing 
condition. However, a small percentage of roots do not have eyes, anc 
to save you the time and trouble of returning them for replacement, 
we add extra roots (some time of other varieties) at time of shipping 
your order to offset any roots that may fail to sprout. When roots 
arrive, we strongly advise placing them in a pan of moist earth 
until the eyes sprout, then transplant to the garden. (If growth is 
showing this is not necessary). Full cultural directions are furnished 
with each shipment.
