SPRING 2013 CATALOG

Dear Dahlia Friends,

Welcome to Arrowhead Dahlias. This will be our 13th year selling dahlia tubers. Our farm is located on the eastern plains of Colorado, about 35 miles northeast of Denver. We welcome anyone passing through our area to stop by and see the dahlias. The middle of August through late September is prime time in Colorado to check out the many dahlia blooms. Please give us a call and set up a time to stop in. Also, visit our website to see pictures and check availability.

To the best of our knowledge the tubers are true to name and disease free. Tubers are guaranteed to have a least one live eye. If there is any problem please let us know. We cannot be responsible for bad weather conditions or poor gardening practices.

To our returning customers and also to those ordering for the first time, thank you for supporting our family farm. Also, thanks to our parents and the Colorado Dahlia Society members for their support. We wish everyone a safe and wonderful holiday season and a prosperous 2013 dahlia year.

Sincerely,

Calvin & Julie Cook
