SPECIAL DAHLIA OFFER 
We are growing this year a mixture of nearly all the 
dahlias listed and many others. As a great many of our 
customers wish a low priced group of good dahlias but 
are not too particular about the colors, we are offering 
this assortment. With over 100 varieties represented 
in this mixture, no one should get two roots of the same 
variety. We are very sure that no equal offer will be 
made in America this year. 
10 roots unlabled for $3.00 postpaid 
Many dahlia catalogs list nothing but the very re- 
cent introductions regardless of their merit as compared 
with the older dahlias. We know that most of our cus- 
tomers want beautiful dahlias whether they were intro- 
duced this year or twenty years ago. We therefore do 
not list new introductions until we have had an oppor- 
tunity to test them in our nursery for several years and 
compare them with similar older dahlias. If they prove 
superior, we add them to our list and drop the older 
ones. If they do not measure up to their advertising, 
they are discarded. We throw away many more than 
we list. Because a plant is new does not guarantee that 
it is better.
