SAGAMORE GARDENS 
GREETINGS 
FOR 1934 
To all my friends and customers and to all dahlia lovers and growers 
everywhere I extend my hearty greetings for a year of prosperity and good cheer* 
I have been progressing steadily each year with an enlarging garden and an ever 
increasing business. I have just opened a new plot of about five acres where I 
hope to greet many of my friends. 
For several years I have been spending much time and effort on new crea¬ 
tions in an effort to attain the best. This year much to my satisfaction I have 
achieved the great pleasure of seeing my KING OF YELL-OWS on the flonor, 
Roll which Mr. Hart picks each year for the American Home Magazine. I have 
several other creations which have Certificates of Merit from the Trial Gardens 
at Storrs. I would like to call the attention of the public to the fact that my 
drjeations are all from seed which I grew in my own gardens on Cape Cod. I 
never buy a creation or the seed to try for new varieties as many growers do. My 
business for 1933 was much larger than I hoped for or expected. The past summer 
on Cape C'od was an excellent one for ’dahlias. I never had a better season for* 
size and number of tubers. Wishing you all A Happy and Prosperous New Year; 
also a beautiful garden this coming season, I am, 
Very Truly Yours, 
Dr. Shirley Smith Shattuck.
