r | 1 HE years of depression are behind us and we 
march forward to a brighter and better bal¬ 
anced future. People are going to have more 
work, and also more leisure hours to work in, and 
enjoy their gardens and flowers. The dahlia is 
sure to be one of the most popular of these flow¬ 
ers. Why? Because it always gives the utmost 
satisfaction when grown to perfection. It is no 
trick at all to grow some flowers, but to grow the 
Biggest and Best dahlia seems to be the crowning 
glory of a season’s work. The whole neighbor¬ 
hood takes a pride in being able to say that Mr. 
- on our street has the best dahlias you ever 
saw, and what a kick you get when the folks come 
around and visit the Queen of the Autumn in 
your garden. 
In the following list of dahlias we have kept in 
mind the "New Deal” and have priced our stock 
accordingly, believing that there must be a reason¬ 
able profit to the grower if he is to continue in 
business and sell quality stock. No saving on the 
initial cost can compensate for the lack of quality 
in the stock that you spend so much time and effort 
to grow. It is cheaper to pay a reasonable price 
for quality stock than to go hunting for dubious 
bargains. You will find such Quality stock in this 
list of Tested Dahlias. 
We have made arrangements with Mr. M. J. 
Reynolds, Reynolds Dahlia Gardens, Rochester, 
Mich., to represent us in the Mid-West, where he 
will grow and exhibit our creations. We will rep¬ 
resent his interests here in the east.
