MICHIGAN—THE GREAT CENTRAL DAHLIA

Michigan is now recognized as one of the 
leading Dahlia growing states. Soil and climatic

We invite you to visit our gardens next fall during 
blooming time. Also plan to attend the huge 
Dahlia Show to be held in Grand Rapids, Sept. 
14-15, 1934. We will exhibit and be happy to 
greet you.
