General Information 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
ORDER EARLY 
Early orders have first call on varieties which are in limited supply. Also the 
earlier you order the more likely that your order will be shipped at the time you 
request. During the heaviest shipping periods, more orders are booked for ship- 
ment on specified days than can possibly be handled on those days so they are 
shipped in the order in which they are received. 
DEPOSITS 
No deposit is required. Just send in your order. Pay anytime before shipping date. 
REFUNDS 
In the event we are unable to supply all varieties on an order at the time specified 
for shipment, a partial shipment will be made. Every effort will be made to send 
the balance by June Ist. If the varieties can not be supplied by that time a refund 
of the purchase price will be made by check or, in the case of amounts less than 
one dollar, in stamps. 
SUBSTITUTION 
We never substitute one variety for another unless specifically requested to do so. 
If You have second or third choices you may list them on the order. 
POSTAGE 
We pay the regular postage on all retail orders but we urge that customers 
send enough to cover special delivery or special handling postage charges on all 
plant orders. Add twenty-five cents for special delivery, or if you do not have 
special delivery service from your post office, add fifteen cents for special hand- 
ling. Special delivery and special handling are postal services which give priority 
to parcels at all postal terminals and often result in your receiving the parcel a 
day or more sooner than if sent by regular parcel post. 
GUARANTEE 
All stock shipped by the Rocky River Dahlia Gardens is guaranteed to be true 
to name, free from disease, and in good growing condition upon its arrival at 
its destination. Stock failing to meet these conditions should be reported just 
as soon as the failure becomes apparent if replacement is desired. We assume 
no responsibility other than replacement. 
EXPORTS 
Customers in other countries should obtain import permits from their department 
of agriculture and the necessary information regarding importation into their 
country. 
SALES TAX 
Residents of Ohio must include the three per cent sales tax with remittance.
