To our Dahlia Loving Friends—we have failed to list roots of many varieties owing to 
their undersize, for the hot, dry, humid weather of nearly the entire month of September caused 
retardment of root development which was followed on September 27th by a severe freeze, doing 
much damage to the blooms and foliage. The plants were permitted to go on until a new growth 
appeared from the roots compelling us to dig the stock considerably earlier than in other years. 
OUR ANNUAL REPORT is made with hopes that you will advise of the growing conditions, 
the past season, in your gardens.

THE VARIETIES FROM BELGIUM AND HOLLAND are prolific bloomers from early season 
until frost. In those countries of short growing seasons only the early blooming varieties are given 
consideration. Formations and colors are excellent and blooms keep well when cut. 
THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT of NEW JERSEY co-operates in inspecting all stock 
growing in our fields, and later shipments are certified by them and also by the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology. 
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 
eut. OUR PLANTS ARE SHIPPED FROM 3 INCH POTS.
