13. In spite of all precautions, the identity of quite a number 
of varieties is lost in harvesting the roots; some of these 
are high-priced sorts, but, rather than grow them another 
year, we will send you 8 of these for $1.00; 16 for $2.00; 
and so on. 
14. Each season we grow a tremendous amount of a number 
of varieties of Dahlias which are used (and specially 
suitable) for our large Wholesale Cutflower Trade; 
consequently we have, each season, an over-balancing 
supply of these varieties and in order to balance our 
stock must offer them (although at very low prices in 
General List) at a very special rate to reduce the stock. 
These varieties are indicated in the General List, by the 
name being in Capital letters. If your order is received 
before March 15, you may choose 50c worth of these 
extra, for every dollar’s worth ordered. They are all of 
the best and will please you. 
15. Gladiolus—We grow these for the cutflower market, so 
they must be good ones. We offer you 4 each, of 10 
different colors, for $1.00, postpaid; 10 each, of 10 dif- 
ferent, for $2.00; and 30 each, of the 10 varieties for 
$5.00, all postpaid. 
16. Each year we grow quite a number of dahlias from seed. 
It is a waste of time to use any but the finest seed; which 
we plant. Dahlias from seed produce as fine bloom and 
roots as from tubers or plants if best seed is planted in 
Feb. or March in a shallow box in house, or in frame 
and later planted outdoors. Our seed (the finest obtain- 
able) $1.00 per package of 25; $4.00 per 125. Order 
by Feb. 20th, if you wish any. 
Dahlia Plants 
Green plants, hardened and vigorous, can be supplied only 
of those varieties as indicated in our regular General List. 
They can be sent out anytime wanted between May Ist and 
June 10th. Plant orders over $2.00 are sent postage free; 
under that amount add 15c extra for postage. Any sized order 
by special delivery, 25c additional. Green plants are not 
included in any Special Offer. Our plants are from base cut- 
tings only and therefore will produce fine clumps of roots. 
Tube Roses 
We have a large supply of the Double Mexican Everbloom- 
ing Tube-roses, those heavily sweet-scented waxy white 
flowers so desirable for scenting and decorating the home. 
Bulbs can be supplied as follows: 12 for 40c; 30 for $1.00, 
postpaid; in quantity, by express, not prepaid $2.00 per 100. 
Catalog space is limited, therefore the descriptions given 
the different varieties in our General List is very brief; just 
enough to give a general idea of the shape, size and color of 
flower. 
Lengthy descriptions really are no better, as they tend to 
confuse the mind, especially if technical terms are used in 
giving the different hues and colorings. We've tried, so far 
as possible to give the colors in language which everyone can 
understand. 
The size of blooms, as given, is for flowers grown in our 
comparatively poor soil; these sizes can be increased by dis- 
budding, extra fertilizing, etc., but we do not recommend 
“high” culture unless for exhibiting purposes, as it invariably 
weakens the roots and causes them to be easily subject to rot.
