BEVERLEY BULB AND DAHLIA FARMS 
CHOICE DAHLIAS AND BULBS 
We cannot think of any flower which fulfills so many of the desirable qualities 
sought after and actually found in the Dahlia. A few of these qualities are: Its 
willingness to grow under varying conditions of soil and climate. Very few, if any, 
plants exceed it in length of blooming season. 
None produces as many blooms on a single 
plant, in as many different forms, or as great 
a variety of color or combination of colors 
in one flower. AND SIZE: Ranging from the 
one-inch Pompon to the giant Exhibition 
Dahlias of 15 inches or more. And did you 
know that individual new varieties may be 
grown from seed, and flower profusely in 
one season. 
We are located in the heart of the White 
River Valley approximately 18 miles from 
the business center of Seattle and its tem- 
perate salt air and flanked on the southwest 
| by the Cascade range and majestic Mount 
: ., Rainier which seems to be watching over 
our activities. This valley ts one of the most 
productive in the world, famous for its bulbs, berries and truck garden crops. 
In shipping you nothing but the choicest and healthiest of Dahlias and bulbs 
we hope to achieve mutual success as flower growers. We welcome visitors at 
all times to our gardens. 
Our Nurseries are located in the heart of the productive Kent Valley. Follow 
the West Valley Highway, also known as Old Tacoma Highway, through Renton 
Junction and Orilla to O’Brien Corner, turn west three-quarters of a mile, then 
south one mile, on east side of Green River.

IMPORTANT 
We are very sincere in desiring that you get the very best results from growing 
our Dahlia stock, which is thoroughly inspected and each root guaranteed to 
have at least one live eye when leaving our hands. In order to establish friendly 
relations and hold your confidence we would like to make the following sug- 
gestions on how to handle your order when it is received: Open the parcel as 
soon as received to check for any damage or deterioration in transit. For best 
results they should be planted immediately, if practical, considering weather 
conditions, etc. If impossible to plant when received better leave them in storage 
medium in which they were shipped and be careful not to put them in too hot or 
dry a place where they are likely to shrivel and dry up—or the other extreme, 
too cold and damp, the possibility of freezing or absorbing a fungus condition 
which leads to rot. We do not advise soaking in water or too wet a medium 
of any kind to force the eye into sprouting; this only leads to trouble. Finally, 
check your soil for wire worms and cut worms; a wire worm can eat the eye right 
out of the tuber, eliminating any possibility of producing a plant. Consult your 
garden insecticide dealer for one of the new products which contains benzine 
hexachloride and use as directed for a control of wire worms and other pests 
living in the soil.
