To our friends and customers: 
In presenting this our 1934 list we have kept the 
number of varieties limited. The varieties listed are 
the ones which have proved to be entirely satisfac¬ 
tory with us. And will give complete satisfaction if 
given proper care and cultivation. 
Our prices have been lowered owing to present 
conditions. The roots we are offering are Field 
Grown from roots. We use our best efforts to keep 
our stock strong and healthy by destroying any plants 
that are not so. 
We wish to thank our customers for their patron¬ 
age and support, also for the letters telling of the 
success you have had with our roots and plants. As¬ 
suring you all orders will receive careful attention. 
Yours for Better Dahlias, 
WILL HOOKWAY.
