San Leandro, Cal., 
December 27, 1933. 
TO OUR FRIENDS: 
It is our pleasure to announce that we have secured the 
services of Mad River Gardens (D. P. Wickersham), Ur- 
bana, Ohio, to handle our introductions east of the Missis¬ 
sippi River. Having had so many inquiries from the Mid 
West, we thought it would be of benefit to our patrons to be 
able to secure such Dahlias close at hand. 
All orders for the territory east of the Mississippi 
River should be sent direct to Mad River Gardens, Urbana, 
Ohio. Orders for the Pacific Coast and all territory west of 
the Mississippi River, will be handled by me from San Lean¬ 
dro, Cal., as formerly. 
This arrangement will give us more time to devote to the 
raising of new varieties and give our patrons something to 
talk about. 
Hoping 1934 brings to all our friends and patrons the 
best of health and happiness, and better Dahlias, is the am¬ 
bition and wish of, 
Yours very truly, 
CHARLES GARR1TY. 
We are proud indeed to make the above announcement, 
and are assured that with Mr. Garrity’s great knowledge of 
the Dahlia and its breeding, we may look forward to even 
greater things.
