EXCELL DAHLIA GARDENS 
INTRODUCTION 
In presenting my 1934 list of dahlias I wish at this time to thank 
my many customers for their kind patronage and I shall try my best 
to merit a continuance of that patronage by sending out only the best 
stock possible. 
HAVE YOU TRIED MY GREEN PLANTS? They are well root¬ 
ed and will produce good tubers. I have shipped them far and near 
with the best results. One of my customers from the state of Wash¬ 
ington writes and says plants you shipped me came through fine, one 
man from the state of Oregon says he could not tell my plant clumps 
from the root clumps they did so well. Many others have written the 
same in regards to my plants, why not try them they cost half the 
price of roots.
