Our Purpose Throughout the Years 
The American Dahlia Society, of which we have long been a 
member, was “Formed for the purpose of stimulating interest in 
and promoting the culture and development of the Dahlia.” Our 
contribution to this purpose has consistently been to offer to an 
ever increasing number of Dahlia lovers the highest quality stock 
possible to grow, in as extensive as possible variety of types and 
color shades available in tested and worthwhile Dahlias, and at 
the lowest prices consistent with good stock. It becomes apparent 
from the many letters and repeat orders of customers over the 
years that we have not failed in our aims. Excerpts from a few 
of these letters are found in the body of this catalog, all unsolicited 
expressions of the way customers feel about our methods of doing 
business. 
Some of you may have discovered that some needed items 
have been rather scarce and hard to buy during the past several 
years. There just wasn’t enough to go around. Among these items 
has been good Dahlia stock. The best efforts of the Miller Dahlia 
Farms to overcome this for our clientele have unfortunately not 
proved entirely successful. Should our increased supply this year 
again be unequal to the demand, a revised list will be sent to 
each one on our mailing list whenever stock becomes exhausted 
on more than one third of the listed varieties in the catalog. 
Several new varieties of our own origination are listed for the 
first time this year, having been grown for years so that stock is 
sufficient for sale at prices within the reach of all, rather than 
the usual prices necessary for 2 or 3 year old seedlings. 
As to prices, our policy is “One Price to All” with a discount 
according to the amount of the order, as explained on the order 
sheet. In view of the lower purchasing power of our dollars, the 
real prices on all varieties herein are materially lower than last 
year, although listed at the same figure. We are deeply apprecia- 
tive of orders from customers and dealers for stock for re-sale, 
but in all fairness to the loyal customer who can use but one or 
two of each variety, the right is reserved to limit the number of 
roots of any one variety to a customer, if this seems necessary. 
Regardless of price or shortage, we firmly believe any Dahlia 
stock purchased from the Miller Dahlia Farms will prove to be— 
“The Highest Quality Dahlia Roots Obtainable.”

SUCCESS — AT LAST 
Port Orchard, Wash., Jan. 24, 1946—“You are the only Dahlia 
grower I shall ever send another order to. My experience has 
been very discouraging until I received my order from you 
last year.”—Mrs. C. J. P. 
FROM A NEW CUSTOMER 
Reno, Nev., Sept. 1, 1946—“I am writing you in regard to the 
Dahlias I got from you this spring—I have raised Dahlias for 
years, but these are the most beautiful I ever had. I thought 
I would let you know how pleased I am with them and thank 
you for the nice bulbs.’”—H. K.
