STATION ANNOUNCEMENT 
Read Carefully 
In these trying times one must of necessity turn to 
some diversified undertaking to relieve the mad rush of 
winning the war. After bonds morale is the next best 
thing to possess, and we know of no other method of 
acquiring this unseen blessing than the work in one’s 
garden. 
We are thinking we will all be home a great deal this 
coming summer, and a Victory Garden for home use 
surrounded by flowers can do a fine job of making us 
contented and happy with our lot, and go a long way 
in aiding our armed forces. To grow Dahlias is inspira- 
tional—witness Nature’s handiwork—the marvelous array 
of color, forms, size, etc. 
Visitors to our gardens this past season from all parts 
of the country gazed in awe; many had never seen a 
Dahlia before, which to us seems impossible. If you have 
never grown this wonderful flower, by all means—after 
you have bought bonds—add a few to your Victory 
Garden. 
Our stock is carefully grown, and nothing but sturdy 
healthy plants are allowed to appear in our planting. 
We won more than our share of prizes at the Fall shows. 
Best Display—best large basket—best small basket— 
largest in the show—Sunset Medal—three firsts in the 
Seedling class—Best Washington and California origina- 
tion, and a few more. We really were a little backward 
about accepting all these awards. From this angle alone 
our stock must be right. 
GUARANTEE—We guarantee all our stock to be free 
from any signs of disease, true to name, and all ready 
to grow when you receive them. If any fail to grow or 
otherwise prove untrue, we are willing to replace or re- 
fund the purchase price. More than this we cannot ac- 
cept responsibility for. 
TERMS—We require cash with order, or sufficient 
amount to hold early orders till shipping time. We do 
not ship C.O.D. This uses too much valuable time, and 
is an added expense to you. Stamps accepted up to $3.00. 
P. O. Money Orders are always safe. Make all checks 
and orders payable to J. E. HULIN. 
EARLY SHIPMENTS—Should you desire your order 
shipped during severe weather we will pack it as frost- 
proof as we know how, and ship by insured express. All 
orders of $3.00 or more are shipped prepaid. After orders 
have left our place we cannot be held responsible for 
damage or loss in transit. If any damage occurs put in 
your claim at once to the Express Co., and send us their 
report for adjustment, and your shipment will be re- 
placed. 
PLEASE REMEMBER—To write your name and ad- 
dress as plainly as you can. It is sure if you print it.
