Some varieties are short crop, other varieties are being withheld to increase stock, and still others were completely 
sold in the field before going to press. Such varieties are described as “out for this year” and while we are including 
them in our list this is done merely as a matter of record and under no condition can we supply even small quantities 
of them until another season. 
At 5c Each 
MIXED—Every year at planting time our third and last sorting of planting stock is thrown into one lot and 
planted as Mixed. This lot represents at least a few roots of almost every variety in our list of Large Flowering 
Dahlias, and because of the fact that there are such limited quantities of each of the many varieties represented 
no effort is made to reclaim these varieties at digging time. This mixture is undoubtedly the finest and most varied 
assortment of dahlias ever offered and should make a most attractive Special Bargain Offer feature for your catalog. If 
desired, we can pack these roots in lots of 6, 8 or 10 in a special corrugated slide box, size 6 x 6 x 2% inches, at 4c per box 
extra.
