NET GROWERS PRICES FOR 1953 
These prices apply only on orders for 10 or more roots of any variety. If less than 10 roots are 
ordered add 3c per root to cover additional cost of labelling and packing. 
10% extra count is given in all cases—that is 11 for 10, 110 for 100, etc..— except where roots 
are packed in special boxes or cartons ready for reshipment—to take care of any possible replace- 
ment claims and to help defray transportation charges. This extra count is figured on even multiples 
of ten only. 
As packed for shipment roots weigh approximately 15 lbs. per hundred. 
All our stock is absolutely dependable, field grown from roots — not plants — planted early, carefully rogued and 
fully matured before dug. Stored under ideal conditions, all roots are fresh and plump, carefully cut, trimmed and 
sorted by expert cutters — no haggling, no broken necks, no culls — every root with a good eye, full of vitality and 
sure to please your most exacting customers. No stunts, mosaic or diseased plants in our fields, and no junk or untried 
varieties in our list. 
For individual wrapping and labelling add 1%ec per root to prices given,

Some varieties are short crop, other varieties are being withheld to increase stock, and still others were completely 
sold in the field before going to press. Such varieties are described as “out for this year’ and while we are including 
them in our list this is done merely as a matter of record and under no condition can we supply even small quantities 
of them until another season. 
At 4c Each 
MIXED—Every year at planting time our third and last sorting of planting stock is thrown into one lot and 
planted as Mixed. This lot represents at least a few roots of almost every variety in our list of Large Flowering Dahlias, 
and because of the fact that there are such limited quantities of each of the many varieties represented no effort is 
made to reclaim these varieties at digging time. This mixture is undoubtedly the finest and most varied assortment of 
dahlias ever offered and should make a most attractive Special Bargain Offer feature for your catalog. If desired, we 
can pack these roots in lots of 6 or 8 in a special corrugated slide box, 5x6x2% inches, at 5¢ per box extra. 
At 5c Each 
MIXED BY COLOR — This item is made up from surpluses in our named varieties, and is intended especially for
