We present herewith our Sixth Annual Catalog to our many customers ,and Dahlia-loving friends in 
the United States and the world and extend you our heartiest greetings and best wishes for a happy and 
prosperous 1934. May it bring to you health, happiness and prosperity and a renewed faith in yourself 
and those around you. 
1933 was in many respects a memorable year. It’s uncertainties in the winter and spring caused many 
either to forego purchase of flowers or to purchase fewer in number, and less in cost; yet, while our 
volume of business was reduced in 1933, we served the greatest number of individual customers of any year 
since we began to grow Dahlias commercially, six years ago. The love for flowers is too strong in people 
for even a year like last year to cause them to deny themselves the inspiration that only flowers can give. 
We rejoice with you that events last summer and fall has brought to us conditions much improved 
and with highly encouraging evidence that we have entered a new era of prosperity that will enable us 
to restore some of the things we felt we could not afford, and to resume a normal state of living with 
assurance that it will continue. 
We grew and harvested our usual 26 acres of Dahlias in 1933, about 125,000 hills of 600 varieties. The 
summer was dry enough to make the Dahlias “dig in,” thus giving them vitality, and ample rain m Sep¬ 
tember and October matured our Dahlia roots under ideal conditions. It will continue to be true that 
“Kendal Dahlias Grow Anywhere.” 
Under the new improved business conditions, our costs were increased in the production and handling 
of Dahlias. So are our costs increased in our preparation for marketing, our catalogs, and other adver¬ 
tising, our office and other fixed expenses, yet we bring you not only the tiny one inch pom and the 
large exhibition Dahlia that is the sensation of the Show Rooms, but all those other interesting and fasci¬ 
nating forms, types and colors of Dahlias which lend themselves to your garden planting, your home dec¬ 
orations, and your artistic arrangements, and at a PRICE LOWER THAN EVER BEFORE. We do this 
relying on an increased volume of business to justify it. We know you will appreciate it. 
Not only that, but our Catalog brings you a selection of 600 different Dahlias. We do not believe 
that any other grower in the world grows as many varieties for your selection as we grow. Our Catalog 
describes briefly and succinctly. These descriptions with accompanying instructions makes it a valuable 
reference book. Consult it often. 
We have large stocks of many of the popular standard varieties, many of them of exhibition size which 
we have combined in assorted types and colors in collections and at greatly reduced prices. They are bar¬ 
gains and you will do well to take advantage of these offers. Their performance will please you. 
We have increased our “Good Will” Offer of free roots of 15 per cent in 1933 to 20 per cent in 1934, thus 
giving you still more Dahlias for the money you spend with us. Besides your order to us in 1934 will 
entitle you to a 10 per cent cash discount on your 1935 order. Ordering from us in 1934 is worth money 
to you in 1935. 
We are now growing our own Cannas and Peonies and we quote a substantially lower price on these 
nursery items for prime number one stock. 
Write us next fall of your Dahlia successes. Write us also about your failures and problems. We 
want to know about both, and if you are motoring east or west next fall on this State Route 2 or 6 east 
of Sandusky from August ,20 to October 20, you will see a treat in beautiful Dahlias, if you will stop and 
visit our gardens. 
Our 1935 Catalog will be mailed from January 15 to February 1, 1935. Next year be on the lookout for it. 
Again we thank you for your patronage. You’ve been fine. We await with interest to hear from you 
this spring. May 1934 bring us good luck together. 
If you are not interested in this catalog, will you please pass it along to your neighbor?
