INTRODUCING 
DR. RALPH FIORETTI (S.C. to I.D.) 
(Fioretti-Burnett) 
DON’T MISS THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY! 
THE DEBUT OF A BLUE RIBBON DAHLIA 
A YEAR IN ADVANCE 
Originally scheduled for introduction at the leading Dahlia 
Shows, and for initial sales to the public in 1946-47, lack of 
sufficient growing space has forced us to offer this outstand- 
ing variety to all Dahlia lovers for the 1946 Spring planting 
season. 
Dr. Ralph Fioretti is the Dahlia of perfection seldom found 
even among the prize winners. A pure creamy white, semi-cac- 
tus to informal decorative type. Good whites are always scarce 
and a white in this classification even more so. The large, grace- 
ful flowers averaging 13 inches across and 8 inches deep are 
borne on wonderfully stiff, cane-like stems, plants averaging 
5 feet in height. The heavy, deep green foliage makes a most 
attractive plant. All stock has shown unsurpassed resistance 
to insects and is free of all signs of mosaic. Dr. Ralph Fioretti 
is a versatile bloomer, allowed to grow unpinched it flowers 
very early in August; pinched twice, it produces a wonderful 
late crop in September and October.

Shipments: Please check all packages when received

to send all items ordered at one time with the seeds; 
for instance, Onion Sets, Asparagus Roots, Rose Bushes, 
etc. Customers are notified of incomplete shipments 
or shortages the same day we make shipment. All 
seeds are packaged and labeled to conform with re- 
quirements of New York and Federal seed laws.

implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or 
any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants we sell,

Every order is accepted on these conditions only. 
All claims should be made within 10 days of receipt 
of goods. 
Price fluctuations, Government established prices, crop failures, and other factors beyond our control 
make it necessary for us to reserve the right to change any prices in this catalogue if conditions warrant it.
