TO OUR DAHLIA LOVING FRIENDS — The extreme dryness of the past season may 
have been resposible for the failure of certain varieties to grow and give satisfactory 
results. Particularly was this true of SALEM SUNSHINE and COLIN KELLY’ Jr. Our own 
introduction LINK’'S BLACK PRINCE and tho we have had good reports on its fine be- 
havior in some localities, we are withdrawing it this season for the purpose of building 
up new stock. OUR GUARANTEE IS TO GIVE SATISFACTION and we will gladly replace 
such failures with new varieties if you will name them. Stock of WINGS, purchased last 
season proved untrue and any receiving it may select replacements to the full amount 
paid. LINK’S SENSATION was especially outstanding and was also placed first in the 
selection of the twelve best in the field; alphabetically arranged they are DEAN SHURT- 
LEFF, GLOWING BEAUTY, JOHN W. SHERWOOD, KING DAVID, LINK’S WHITE MAJESTY, 
PINK ELEPHANT, -RHYTHM, “SOUTHERN “THOROUGHBRED. JHESBANGER) = Lobe E Al

We have testimonials from many localities and will supply references from these 
growers if desired.

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 reasonable 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.
