Notice 
We wish to call your attention to the fact that for the first time 
the dahlia grower will have several different publications from which 
he will be able to secure definite information regarding the new intro¬ 
ductions as written by different dahlia authorities. This is both an 
advantage and a disadvantage. The buyer will know that any dahlia 
that receives favorable comment from all three writers must be worthy 
of consideration and must be worthwhile. He will be able to eliminate 
a certain element of chance buying. All writers may not see the same 
dahlia in the same light, but if two out of the three do, then that dahlia 
must be worthwhile. 
The disadvantage in the plan of the year is with the dealer. He is 
forced to spend considerable more in his advertising, and advertising in 
these large publications proves to be expensive business. This year we 
have tried to reach the maximum amount of dahlia growers by calling- 
attention to our new introductions in each of these publications. 
We wish to call your attention to these publications so that you 
may be aided in selecting your dahlias for 1935. The grower that 
secures the December issue of each of these magazines should be able 
to select better dahlias and eliminate those that seem to be without 
merit. The publications are:
