INFORMATION 
In presenting my 1945 Catalog I take this opportunity 
to thank my many customers for their liberal support in 
the past and hope I may serve them again as well as 
many new customers. I personally put up each order and 
carefully inspect each root sent out. I guarantee all 
Dahlias are grown without forcing, with sufficient potash 
in the soil to insure strong roots. 
Consider ordering as early as possible as the stock of 
some varieties is limited. I start shipping March 10th if 
weather permits, but will ship any specified time after 
that date. Directions for growing and keeping the roots 
over winter sent with each order. 
All orders over $1.00 sent post-paid; for $1.00 or less 
add 15 cents for postage. 
Terms: Cash with order or one-third of the amount 
with order and balance before shipping date. Remit by 
check, post office money order or registered letter. 
Reference: York National Bank, Saco, Maine. 
The Dahlia Classifications in this Catalog are the new 
form adopted by the American Dahlia Society., The 
abbreviations are as follows: ‘‘C’’ Cactus, Incurved, Re- 
curved, or Straight; “S-C’ Semi-Cactus; “FD” Formal] 
Decorative; ‘ID’ Informal Decorative.
