GENERAL INFORMATION 
TERMS — CASH WITH ORDER, PLEASE. 
PRICES ARE NET. 
If you live in West Virginia, kindly include con- 
sumer’s sales tax with your order. 
PLEASE NOTE: Figures in parenthesis following 
the name and type of a variety indicate the size of the 
bloom as they grow for us. *All Dahlias marked with 
asterisks before the name are of European or Australian 
origination. We have imported them from the various 
countries in recent years. 
Orders of $2.50 or more are postpaid. For less than 
$2.50, please add 25c for postage and packing. 
PLEASE STATE SHIPPING DATE. All orders will 
be packed and all roots are guaranteed true to name 
and in growing condition. If unsatisfactory upon ar- 
rival, or if they fail to start in a reasonable time, return 
at once and they will be replaced. However, very early 
shipments are sent at customer’s risk of freezing, drying 
or rotting. We are not responsible in any case for more 
than the purchase price. 
May we suggest that if you are ordering more than 
three roots of a variety, will you kindly write us before 
sending in your order, to ascertain if we have them in 
stock. Also, second choice is recommended. Almost 
every year there is a shortage of certain varieties. 
WE SUGGEST THAT YOU SEND IN YOUR 
ORDER FOR DAHLIAS EARLY. All orders will be 
filled in rotation. We shall be glad to reserve your 
roots for you, and ship at any time that you desire. 
Roots to be mailed March 1st to June Ist. 
ONE FREE ROOT OF OUR SELECTION GIVEN 
WITH EACH ROOT ORDER. With a few exceptions, 
this has always been our policy, and we are glad to 
do it. This does not apply to plant or wholesale orders. 
Due to adverse weather conditions the past season, 
in which our gardens were flooded and our planting 
partly washed away, we are unable to list as many va- 
rieties as in the past. Our planting for Collections suf- 
fered the most. Thus, we are unable to list but one 
Collection this year. 
Our gardens have been state inspected and have 
been found to be free of dangerously injurious insects 
and plant diseases. 
SPRAY YOUR DAHLIAS FOR BEST RESULTS. 
Leafhoppers are the principal offenders in our locality. 
Try spraying with D.D.T. or Methoxychlor every ten 
days after they come up for awhile, and see if you do 
not have better results with your dahlias. We used 
Methoxychlor for the past several seasons to control 
both leafhoppers and Japanese beetle, with excellent 
results. It also will control the Mexican bean beetle. 
It is much less poisonous than D.D.T. Follow instruc- 
tions on the can. 
To all we extend a cordial invitation to visit our 
gardens during the growing season and blooming period. 
The dahlias are usually at their best the first part of 
September. 
Our gardens are located five miles east of Fairmont, 
one mile off State Route No. 73, on the Winfield Road 
at the village of Winfield.
