STATION ANNOUNCEMENT 
PLEASE read this entire page carefully. 
The task of winning the war and saving gasoline has 
taught many persons the beauty of a garden for the 
first time and more of them are planting dahlias each 
season. This is a stimulant for the busy office worker 
with no ill after affects. There is real peace in a gar- 
den of dahlias. 
Our 1945 season came to a close the 21st of October, 
the earliest in our history. After a very wet spring we 
got off to a flying start and our Dahlias came through 
in fine style. Advance orders at the gardens depleted 
us of many varieties that will not appear in this cata- 
logue. We wish to take this opportunity to express our 
thanks for the many nice letters received, and for the 
nice orders that so completely cleaned us out last 
season. 
Should any mistakes occur, let us know and we 
will do all in our power to rectify them to your entire 
satisfaction. Kindly order early so we will not have 
to send your check back—this we do not like to do, 
it looks bad on the records. 
GUARANTEE—We fully guarantee all our stock to 
be free from disease and true to name. It will reach 
you in good growing condition. If any variety fails to 
make good, we stand ready to replace it or refund 
the purchase price. More than this we cannot accept 
responsibility for. We offer ROOTS only, no plants. 
TERMS—We require cash with orders, or 25% de- 
a posit to hold early orders till shipping time, balance 
to be paid before shipment. We DO NOT ship C.O.D. 
This is an added expense to you and extra work for 
us. We prepay all orders over $2.00. Less amounts 
kindly send sufficient postage to cover, any overage 
will be returned. We will accept unused stamps up 
to $3.00 in denominations up to 20c. Make all Money 
Orders and checks payable to J. E. HULIN. 
SHIPMENTS—We start shipping April 10th. If you 
want them earlier we will pack as frostproof as pos- 
sible, and ship by express at purchaser’s risk and ex- 
pense. There is no assurance that the express com- 
pany will pay for frozen shipments. 
REMEMBER THIS—Write your name as plainly as 
possible, in fact print it, if it is very uncommon. If 
your city is zoned, give your zone number. WASH- 
INGTON customers be sure to enclose the sales tax.
