Dahlia Plants 
Each year our own plantings consist of over fifty per cent 
plants. We have found that if plants are started and grown 
properly, they will produce as good, if not better, results than 
roots. 
We. take particular care to select the very best stock to 
grow the plants from. As soon as the ‘’cutting’’ is well rooted, 
it is transferred to pots or wood barids; then at the: proper 
time they are moved from the greenhouse into the cold frames 
for the, ““hardening’’ process. In ten days they are ready for 
shipping. 
We have adopted the MODERN METHOD of shipping 
plants; that is, instead of sending the plants in the pots or 
wood bands, we take them out and very carefully wash all the 
dirt off the roots and very carefully pack them in moist peat 
and spagmun moss. We have found this method excellent; 
and of the many dozens we mailed out last year, only one plant 
had to be replaced. We guarantee EVERY plant to reach our 
customer in good condition. 
Dahlia Seed 
Every dahlia grower who grows ‘’seedlings’’ will tell you 
his greatest thrill is: ‘’watching’’ the ‘’new’’ dahlia coming 
in bloom. Every new dahlia will be different from any other 
known variety. 
Dahlia seed planted in the spring will commence to bloom 
in August, and continue until frost. It is not unusual to have 
blooms 10 to 12 inches across. 
New seedlings of merit, that have few faults, are readily 
salable at worthwhile prices. 
The dahlia seed we offer is the same high quality that we 
plant and from which we obtain our outstanding introductions. 
This seed is grown in the finest location in the United States, 
where the seasons are the longest, and that is in the extreme 
Southwest. 
There are NO small varieties grown within a radius of 
several miles. Only the very LARGEST varieties. | 
If you find that you have a good seedling, please write us 
about it. . 
Fifty Dahlia Seed, $2.75; 100 Dahlia Seed, $5.00.
