OHIO VALLEY DAHLIAS 
1 
We are grateful to again have the opportunity to 
express our gratitude to our friends, old and new, for 
the generous support accorded us in the past. Kind let¬ 
ters of appreciation coming from many quarters spur 
us on to the greatest care in listing our offerings, to 
the end that no dahlia of inferior quality and habits may 
be passed on to our customers. 
Our climate is such as to thoroughly try the vitali¬ 
ty of dahlias, and we have elected to list only those 
which have proven to be vigorous varieties, well able 
to thrive under adverse climatic conditions, as well as 
when conditions are more favorable. 
In this section of the Ohio Valley the season of 1934 
was ideal for dahlias. True our plants suffered from the 
drought until early July, but this was a blessing in dis¬ 
guise. All had to work to live. Strong root systems were 
established and when the rains came, how they did per¬ 
form! The late season was ideal for maturing roots and 
as a result the quality of our stock surpasses that of 
previous years. 
Some varieties are very limited. Accordingly, we sug¬ 
gest ordering early. 
We wish all lovers of this marvelous flower a pleas¬ 
ant season. 
Cordially, 
F. W. GALLOWAY
