Our exhibit at the 1933 Show of the Dahlia Society 
of Indiana. 
To Our Dahlia Friends and to All Flower Lovers: 
Greetings: 
In presenting this, our 1934 catalog, we do so with 
the firm conviction that the varieties offered are 
the best in their particular color and type on the 
market today. Some old favorites will be missed 
from these pages, but only because they have been 
superseded by newer introductions superior in one 
way or another. 
Prizes are won in a show with blooms cut from 
plants which have been properly grown. Excessive 
feeding is disastrous. Care, cultivation, plant train¬ 
ing, insect prevention and attention to minute de¬ 
tails bring success. We practice what we preach 
in our folder, "How We Grow Big Dahlias." 
Our record this past season stands as a test of the 
quality of stock we offer to our friends. 
Indiana Show: Gold ribbon for the largest and most 
perfect bloom (Amelia Earhart) in the commercial

Club of Indianapolis awarded on a vase of six beau¬ 
tiful Murphy's Masterpiece. First in the commercial
