REGARDING DATE OF SHIPMENT 
Roots may be ordered at any time and will be shipped at any 
date desired by the customer. However, it is advisable to have 
them sent not too long before the time for planting, as no Dahlia 
grower can be responsible for any loss which may occur on ac- 
count of spoiling or drying out of roots which are in the cus- 
tomers’ hands for a month or so before planting. And where 
early orders are used for forcing for the purpose of making cut- 
tings to plant, there is no guarantee against rotting of the roots 
in this process. In sections where the spring is backward and 
the ground is still cold and wet in May, it is advised to keep 
the roots in the peat moss in which they are packed, and they 
will sprout nicely with hardly any attention, so when the ground 
is warmed up the new plant will have a better start than if it 
had been put in the ground earlier. Parcel post charges are all 
paid by me, and express charges on large shipments, but where 
small orde.s are wanted sent dur.ng weather when freezing 
might occur in transit, the shipment will be made express, 
charges collect.

WON’T PART WITH FAVORITE DAHLIA 
FRESNO, CAL., JAN. 14, 1948—‘‘Your Dahlias are all that you 
say they are. We put in about 250 bulbs last spring and they 
were all from you. We have had so many compliments and so 
many want to buy them. There are some bulbs I won't part 
with, and one in particular is Cornelia B. Pinchot. That is my 
favorite of all.” Mrs. F. B. 
BEST HE EVER GREW 
GRIMES, CAL,, FEB. 11, 1948—‘I might add that the roots 
which I purchased last year were very good, in fact the best I’ve 
ever grown.”  H. J. A, 
LONG SEASON OF BLOOM 
JACKSON, MISS., FEB. 9, 1948—The tubers I bought from 
you last spring were fine and I had blooms from early August 
until November 30th. The Mother O’Mine especially fine.”
