Testimonials 
Just a few unsolicited Testimonials. We have them 
from nearly every State from Massachusetts to California 
and from Minnesota to Oklahoma and Texas, so no matter 
where you live we know you’ll have success with Michigan 
Grown Dahlias, but we suggest you try Zant’s. Zant’s 
plants and roots have the benefit of our tested soil, scien¬ 
tifically fertilized with a balanced ration, our own formula 
rich in potash, that we have proved just right after dozens 
of trials with different formulas. Ask those who have our 
stock or have seen our gardens — or read these testi¬ 
monials: 
Two Rivers, Wis. 
I received your dahlia plants May 25th. They are grow¬ 
ing very fast and seem full of life. I am thanking you for 
the extra bulb. I will continue to trade from you from now 
on. I am interested in Dahlias very much and believe your 
plants were the best I have ever grown. I will send you 
a picture of these dahlias after they are in bloom.

Please send us your catalog when it is ready as I want 
more of your dahlias. The Kathleen Norris you sent me 
gratis was the largest and finest bloom of all my dahlias. 
Your kindness is fully appreciated. G. 0. K.

The dahlia plants received in fine condition and they did 
exceedingly well, although we had a very dry season. I 
hope to be able to give you another order this spring.

I thank you very much for your filling of my order. 
Plants and roots arrived in fine condition. You certainly 
have made a regular customer. I am only sorry I am not 
a little nearer your gardens, because I send orders for 
other people and I like having a good show in my garden. 
I think I have 24 of the finest dahlias on the market at the 
present time, and when people see them in flower, the first 
thing they say is “Where did you get them?” and that is 
where John J. Zant will come in next spring. I thank you 
again for your extras, but it is the good condition of the 
plants on their arrival that I appreciate. Be sure to send 
me a catalog next spring. MR. D. Y.

I want to congratulate you for the splendid Dahlia 
Tubers you sent. I have everything a man could wish for. 
It is the first time I have shown flowers in this country. 
I sent 16 dahlias to the “Old Woodstock Fair” in Conn., 
and took a first and second prize. My dahlias have been 
the talk of the city of Southbridge, but every credit is due 
to John J. Zant for the way he raises them. They are not 
only full of life, but full of “pep” all summer. I have sup¬ 
plied churches and parties and homes with dahlias. It is 
not only the size, but the color, no fading. It has been a 
pleasure for me to grow them. Orinda is 9 ft. 6 in. today. 
You will see by the photo. I am 5 ft. 6 in. tall and Orinda 
is on the left. My largest bloom is Prince of Persia, 1114 
inches. Orinda is 11 inches. Jane Cowl, 1014 inches and 
W. H. T. is 9 inches. I am looking forward to next spring 
for Rudy Vallee, Fantasy and Amelia Earhart, and I would 
like Kaweah and Dad. MR. D. Y.
