A Partial Glimpse of Our Three Acres in Bloom , Fall 19}} 
ZANT’S WILDWOOD GARDENS, Grand Rapids, Michigan. 
Michigan’s Finest Dahlia Farm. One of the most modern plants in the country for pro¬ 
ducing the Highest Grade of Roots and Plants. This view shows our root storage building 
with office above, as well as Propagating and Growing Houses. Visitors always welcome. 
OUR MODERN PLANT 
Has these exclusive features: A 25 by 75 foot Foley 
Greenhouse, where the plants are grown cool, making short 
stocky plants that we can ship anywhere in the United 
States and guarantee safe delivery. We also have a sepa¬ 
rate Propagating House, 10 x 25 feet, equipped with elec¬ 
tric heated benches for rooting the cuttings. These are 
controlled by Electric Thermostadts. The plants are hard¬ 
ened off before shipping, and our own loss last spring was 
only three plants out of five thousand planted. This shows 
the wonderful root system our method of growing pro¬ 
duces. These plants are sprayed with a combination solu¬ 
tion of Nicotine and Pyrethem, so they will continue to 
grow and give satisfaction if you follow our simple instruc¬ 
tions. Our capacity is 25,000 green plants for 1934. 
THREE ACRES EXHIBITION GARDENS 
Zant’s Exhibition Gardens consist of three acres of the 
finest Dahlia soil in Michigan for growing Monster blooms 
and producing roots that will satisfy anywhere in the 
world. 
The gardens are irrigated when necessary. Tile drained 
to prevent trouble if we should get a wet season. It has 
certainly been a long time since we have had one. They are 
electric lighted throughout and during the blooming season 
it is a wonderful sight. Many visitors say it is even more 
beautiful at night under the lights than during the day. 
Our field planting is at the farm on M-21. 
Yours for the Best in Dahlias

Owner and Manager.
