STATION ANNOUNCEMENT 
(Read Carefully) 
F Once again we are pleased to present you 
~” with our list of “DESIRABLE DAHLIAS.” 
We had a wonderful season with the first 
frost on Oct. 24th. Reports from all over 
the country were very gratifying regarding 
our stock with many winnings at the various 
shows. It is through shows and catalogues 
one finds the newer varieties and ordering 
by mail is the modern way of securing these 
new numbers. However, this privilege is being seriously 
threatened by the constant increase in postal rates. This 
is a matter of vital importance to everybody. Until the 
time comes that we can ship charges collect—like the 
Express Company—we are again asking you to share 
the expenses with us as you so willingly did in the past. 
On orders for less than $3.00 add 30¢. From $3.00 to 
$5.00 add 50¢. Orders for over $5.00 will be shipped 
prepaid. If you want any stock during freezing weather 
in the East it will have to be forwarded by Express 
collect. 
GUARANTEE—AIll our stock is Government inspect- 
ed and fully guaranteed. If any variety should fail to 
grow we will willingly replace or refund the purchase 
price. All orders accepted subject to being unsold and 
any other conditions over which we have no control. 
TERMS—We require cash with order or a reasonable 
deposit to hold early orders till shipping time. We DO 
NOT shiv C.O.D. This is an added expense to you and 
extra work for us. Make all checks and 
Money Orders payable to J. E. HULIN.
