We offer this our 1934 price list which of necessity must carry 
only our new introductions and our last years successes. The terrible 
storm of August 23rd, caused us to loose most all of our dahlias and 
forces us to introduce two very fine dahlias without having been able 
to show them as we have done in the past. 
We were able to show only three blooms in one show and those 
from plants that had been torn to pieces a month previous. On these 
we won a first prize for the best undisseminated Formal Decorative 
Seedling, our only entry of the season. 
Due to our inability to show our new introductions in open com¬ 
petition, we are striving to picture them here in such a way that their 
size and formation can be visualized and we assure you that both will 
be very valuable additions to your planting list.
