By Way of Introduction 
Greetings, dahlia fans. We 
find ourselves embarking on 
another year of dahlia grow¬ 
ing, in our estimation one of 
the most interesting of hob¬ 
bies. 
It is our hope that this 
catalog will reach many fans 
we have never contacted be¬ 
fore, therefore, we must in¬ 
troduce ourselves. We are 
located in Holly, a small town 
in central Michigan. Forty-five 
miles northwest of Detroit. 
As you have probably noted, 
Michigan is becoming noted 
for its hardy roots and the 
friendly cooperation of its 
commercial growers. In our 
case, our gardens are the re¬ 
sult of an overgrown hobby 
that every year grows larger. 
Our stock is carefully culled 
and if it does not give thor¬ 
ough satisfaction we want to 
hear about it.

HOLLY, MICHIGAN
