We would rather sell this dahlia to a beginner than any other variety we grow 
because we know it will grow very large, bloom early and profusely and make a 
large clump of roots under conditions where many varieties would fail. 
Roots $1.50 ea. $12.00 doz. Rooted cuttings $.60 ea. $4.00 doz. 
The Drought of 1944 
Our farm in 1944 was the finest display of dahlias ever seen, according to the 
thousands of visitors. 
This was mostly due to our rigorous selection of varieties. Planting only the 
hardiest, most resistant of varieties. Even in a season which was unusually dry 
we succeeded—by using plenty of water—in obtaining thousands of flowers by 
August 1st, and then by the middle of September the fields were a mass of color. 
Buy a good variety—give it cultivation and water, and it will more than 
reward you.
