Author Description

Excerpt from Dahlias, 1927 My stock is healthy, or I would not sell it. I have one reputation that must be maintained. I have another reputation in the making. Neither would permit me, knowingly, to sell inferior stock. I sell roots that have not been forced (this is important). And as they have been well grown, under favorable conditions, I know they are full of vitality, and that they should give excellent results to my customers. My roots ought not bring forth runts in your gardens if your conditions are favorable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
