DAHLIAS 
Undoubtedly many of our customers have noted the omission of dahlias 
from our catalog. It is with regret that we no longer grow or sell dahlias, which 
were made so popular by W. W. Wilmore dating back to 1886. This has been 
anything but a profitable part of our business for the past ten years and for 
this reason we are giving up the growing of dahlias for the future. Since the 
expansion of our nursery business has made it next to impossible to do proper 
growing of this item—much to our regret. Prospective dahlia customers may 
place their orders direct with R. T. Davis, Wheatridge, Colorado, as he has a 
large selection of varieties and we are sure can take care of you equally as well 
as we have in the past. (Mrs. R. T. Davis is a daughter of the late W. W. 
Wilmore.)
