Greetings: 
It has always been my earnest desire to pro- 
vide American dahlia growers with some of the 
finer varieties so rarely offered in other catalogs, | 
and although my catalog was very favorably re- 
ceived last year, it contained only a portion of 
the fine and worth-while varieties I have gathered 
from all over the world, so I am very happy this 
year to be able to present, for the first time, many 
choice varieties, consequently I have increased 
my listings and can now offer you an unsur- 
passed collection of foreign varieties. 
Realizing how much care customers take in 
selecting their varieties, every order is given my 
personal attention, and with my improved method 
of packing, every plant reaches you in perfect 
condition. 
All stock is guaranteed to be true to name, 
free from disease, and in good growing condi- 
tion upon arrival. I assume no responsibility 
other than replacement. 
I do not SUBSTITUTE — remittance is re- 
turned immediately if I am unable to furnish 
variety ordered. 
All prices are NET. 
Cash or twenty-five percent deposit with order, 
balance at shipping time. 
Customers in the states of California, Oregon 
and Washington can get 36 to 48 hour delivery 
on their plant orders, and get them in perfect 
condition by Air Mail Special Delivery, but a fee 
of one dollar and twenty-five cents must accom- 
pany each order of from 1 to 6 plants; over 6 
plants, ten cents additional must be sent for each 
plant. 
In all other parts of the United States we pay 
the regular postage, but the customer should send 
thirty-five cents for Special Delivery. 
Residents in Ohio must ee the three per- 
cent sales tax. 
I sincerely thank you for your confidence dur- 
ing the past year, and hope you are looking for- 
ward to another fine Dahlia Season.
