LONE TREE 
DAHLIA GARDENS 
GREETINGS TO ALL FLOWER LOVERS: 
At the beginning cf a new year it is With plea- 
sure, I send you the 1947 flower roct price list. Again 
we have a limited crop of medium sized field grown 
roots for your choosing. Now that the war is over and 
we can turn our efforts and thoughts back home let 
us each have a few flowers to divert our attention to 
the “Beauties of Nature” and thank God for our beau- 
tiful country and the glorious victory He has given us. 
I wish to thank you one and all for your past pat- 
ronage the blossoms from which I hope you have en- 
joyed and hope to merit a share of your 1947 require- 
ments. 
At this time I wish to advise you, that due to the 
death of my wife, this will be the last time you will 
receive a price list from the Lone Tree Dahlia Gar- 
dens, and in view of this, I have reduced the prices 
for quick disposal of the stock on hand. 
Please ask for quotations cn extra large orders. 
Thank You 
CORTIS RAY 
INFORMATION — READ BEFORE ORDERING 
When you receive your roots, you should keep 
them in a place where they will not dry up as they are 
alive and you should take care of them the same as 
you would live plants when ycu get them. Dahlias can 
be put in a box of dry dirt, sand or sawdust to keep 
the air away or you can water sparingly, (about every 
2 weeks) just so they are damp. If watered too much 
or planted too early while ground is damp and cold 
they will rot. Nothing is gained by planting too early 
and most of them rot when weather is continually
