TO OUR DAHLIA LOVING FRIENDS — Growing conditions the past season were the 
reverse of those of the previous years. The many heavy rains thru June and July and 
the consequential lack of much sunshine greatly retarded the spring growth, tho later 
the plants recovered splendidly and the field was a mass of beautiful blooms when cut 
down on the night of October third by the earliest freeze of all the 28 years we have 
grown Dahlias. No clump list was issued the past fall owing to this extremely short 
growing season. 
We'are striving to give you outstanding varieties that will win for you at the shows 
and those that give your gardens the appearances of a show-place: With this in mind 
we have selected the best of the NEW INTRODUCTIONS and the STANDARDS in making 
up this list. We thank you for your continued faith in us——George H. Swezey. 
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.
