Malford, Heart of Goid, Juanita, Michigan White &

Carl Dahl, and Golden Jupiter, 
We won the “Little Four’ with Campus Queen, Juan- 
ita, Terpo and Zero.

MIDWEST SHOW AT LOUISVILLE, KY. 
We won the “Big Five” and the President’s Cup with 
Dee Cee, Helen Stafford, Kelvin, Nearest Blue and 
Quinn’s Tidal Wave. 
We exhibited the Best B Size bloom in the show— 
Finesse Anversoise. 
Of course a lot of other fine varieties brought us 
numerous ribbons in the regular specimen classes of 
these shows, but space permits the enumeration of only 
the winning varieties in the special classes. Varieties 
that come through in such competition in a year like 
the past can surely be regarded as top-notchers. I am 
pleased to be able to catalog and share most of them 
with my customers in the list which follows. 
Terms Relative to 
Dahlia Orders 
Cash must accompany orders. Minimum order in 
Rocky Mountain States and west is $4.00; all other 
states $3.00. Roots will be shipped prepaid after dan- 
ger of freezing. 
If you live in a part of the country where you need 
your roots for planting prior to March 15, or if you re- 
quire an early delivery for propagation add 35c to your 
remittance for Special Delivery on from 1 to 10 roots, 
and 45c for more than 10 roots. If your post office does 
not have special delivery service add 25c for Special 
Handling. Either Special Delivery or Special Handling af- 
fords quicker delivery and reduces the possibility of 
damage from freezing. 
Discount to Trade: Since my dahlia plantings are not 
extensive and since I deal primarily in newer varieties 
I cater to retail outlets. The usual one-third discount to 
the trade will be allowed only to those whose letter- 
heads prove the legitimacy of their claim to a discount. 
and only when the net order (after deducting the 33%) 
amounts to not less than $10. All wholesale orders will 
be shipped at the buyer’s expense. 
I do not ship plants, but will have a large selection 
to sell to folks in the Chicago area who might care to 
call at my place for them. The price of plants is one- 
third less than the root price.
