To Our Customers
We take great pleasure in presenting you with our
new Dahlia Catalog for 1926. We do not list a large
collection, but such varieties only that have been
selected for their superiority in color, perfection of
form, length and stiffness of stem, continuous
blooming, etc. We list only novelties, and standard
varieties of real merit, based on actual experience
and personal observation.
We specialize on pot-grown Bulbs, grown under
the most favorable climatic conditions. They will
produce for you more perfect blooms, than the field-
grown tuber.
Bulbs and green plants will give equally good
results.
We supply bulbs after December 15th, pot-grown
plants from May 15th to September.
ORDER EARLY. As orders are received stock
will be reserved and sent at proper time.
IN COMPARING OUR PRICES with other Dahlia
lists you will find it pays to buy from the grower
direct.
TERMS: Prices in this Catalog are postpaid
first, second and third zones. Cash with order or in
advance of shipment.
We guarantee all bulbs true to name, and cheer-
fully replace any that should prove otherwise.
Kindly notify us at once. Orders are carefully
filled from selected pot-grown Bulbs. We do not
substitute unless requested, but it is mutually
agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that
we shall at no time be liable for an amount larger
than the original purchase price.
