TO OUR DAHLIA LOVING FRIENDS — Growing conditions during the past season 
were far from ideal but despite the severe drouth many fine clumps and roots were 
harvested. All plants that failed to make healthy, normal growth were dug and 
destroyed about August tenth; this is an annual obligation in order that we may 
keep our stock healthy and strong. Then in September, The Department of Agri- 
culture of the State of New Jersey co-operates in inspecting all stock growing in 
our fields. Later shipments are Certified by this Department and also by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. 
PARTICULARLY GOOD the past season were GLOWING BEAUTY, LINK’S 
CONSPICUOUS, COLIN KELLY, JR., JUDY G., JOHN W. SHERWOOD, SUN TAN, 
THE RANGER, LINK’S VIVACIOUS, WANDA MEADE and WINGS.

Order Early to avoid disappointment, as orders are filled in rotation. The stock

THE SPECIAL COLLECTIONS REPRESENT UNUSUAL SAVINGS 
Collections are net. 
OUR GREEN PLANTS are grown so as to give the maximum of results equal or 
superior to root stock. This is only accomplished by the selection of healthy vigorous 
roots benched in a moderate heat that will enable us to take stocky base cuttings. 
Only a reasonble number of cuttings are taken and none used that are spindly. 
After cuttings are rooted and potted and begin to grow they are moved to cooler 
quarters and later shifted to larger pots; at this stage small tubers are beginning to 
form, assuring that clumps will be obtained at digging time; the plants are later 
hardened off in “outside quarters’’ so as to withstand shipping and be in condition 
for planting out. OUR PLANTS ARE SHIPPED FROM 3 INCH POTS.
