BORING, OREGON 
Address Telegrams to GRESHAM, OREGON 

TO OUR CUSTOMERS: 
Our dahlia farm had its beginning almost 25 years ago 
when.it was little more than an overgrown hobby. This season 
our planting totals 25 acres with machinery and storage 
facilities to successfully handle the stock. 
Our dahlias are dug in the fall following the first 
killing frost. The clumps are thoroughly washed and sep- 
arated as they are brought from the fields. All outside 
moisture is removed from the tuber and it is immediately 
stored away in dry peat and sawdust. This practice insures 
strong, firm tubers at shipping time. 
Every tuber shipped from our warehouse is individually 
inspected for live eyes and the absence of fungus infec- 
tions. We ship no Mother or two-year-old stock and include 
no tuber that is broken or injured in any way. Stock is 
selected for uniformity and a desired size may be requested 
at time of ordering. 
We ship only the finest quality stock and if stock is 
received that does not meet your highest ideals of quality 
you may return it without obligation. 
We request that you book your order with us at the 
earliest possible date so your stock will be reserved and 
ready for you on the date you want delivery. 
Alteprices are F.0.3. Portlend.. Extrs, count as 
included to help defray transportation costs. 
We are located 20 miles southeast of Portland and just 
two miles from the famous Oregon Bulb Farms, Inc. Make 
this a ‘double stop on your visit to Oreron.
