Book Description

Excerpt from Walker's Up-to-Date Dahlias, 1924 I desire to call particular attention to the Dahlias listed under heading, Leading Novelty Dahlias Page 2. These have proven, both in the amateur garden and with the professional grower, to be satisfactory in every respect. I do not make flower exhibits at the Fall Dahlia Exhibitions or force my plants to get flowers that are far above the average size that we see at such exhibitions. My plants are grown as nature grows them. Bulbs selected from such stock should give far better results. I guarantee all tubers to be true to name and to arrive in perfect condition. But to guarantee the life of a plant, while under cultivation, in the hands of another person is to make a dealer responsible for the errors and inexperience of others, not to men tion freaks of weather, and unfavorable seasons, cut worms, improper planting, unfavorable loca tions and many others, which the dealer has no control over. It is therefore unreasonable to ask dealers to be responsible for the life of the plant throughout the season.
