1947 PRICE LIST 

Notice—Please Read 
GREETINGS: 
It is with great pleasure we send you our 1947 
Catalog. Offering you the leading Dahlias of Amer- 
ican and Foreign Varieties. 
The new 1947 Introductions have been selected 
by the score they made in Trial Gardens and Show 
Rooms. 
In addition to our Dahlias we also offer Hardy 
Chrysanthemums, Perennials, Gladiolus and other 
small plants. 
We did not issue a 1946 Catalog because the lack 
of help, however this year we are fortunate to have 
one of our sons discharged from the Armed Service 
and now associated with us in business. After serv- 
ing 21 months in Europe he returned last Spring. 
He and his Belgian bride will be great helpers in 
our work. 
Send your orders in as early as possible so we 
can reserve your wants. Our stock is still limited 
but will do all we can to complete your order. 
Specify when you want your order sent, or we 
will ship it at proper planting time. 
Thanks to all our customers for their past orders 
and I hope we may have the pleasure of supplying 
your needs for 1947. Wishing you a successful 1947 
Dahlia and Flower Year. 
Visitors Welcomed 
Any time you are in our vicinity, please pay us a 
visit. We will be glad to meet you and show you our 
gardens, nursery and greenhouses. Blooming season 
for Dahlias and Chrysanthemums are from Septem- 
ber until killing frost. Many new introductions will 
be included in this year’s planting. 
Future Catalog Request 
If we do not have on file an order from you in 
the last three years you are automatically dropped 
from our mailing list. However we are glad to mail 
you our list if you will only request same. This is 
done to save catalogs as many changes are made 
in a period of three years and you may not be inter- 
ested in them any longer. 
Therefore we use this method to keep our files 
up to date with interested flower growers. Thanks. 
This list cancels all former price lists and orders 
will be filled only from this list. So do not order from 
other lists. 
Special Plant Information 
Dahlia plants are very satisfactory in regards to 
bloom and root production and do not cost as much 
as roots. Plants are developed from selected roots, 
grown in the greenhouse in clay pots, then shifted 
outdoors to harden off for more sturdy plants. You 
can’t go wrong using Dahlia plants. 
On all orders for dahlia plants, 25c extra must be 
sent to cover special handling charges. No C. O. D. 
order on plants unless 50% of the amount of the 
order is sent at the time the order is made.

If you are wanting a variety not listed, please
