Hamar, Norway (Europe), Dec. 28, 1934 
“The Dahlia bulbs and seeds ordered trom your gardens in the spring ot 1934 through my brother 
living in Minnesota were received here at Hamar, Norway, April 30 in good shape except two that were 
sooiled * in the three weeks voyage over the ocean. The bulbs grew and developed into tine flowers 
of exceptional size of the most brilliant colors even though they were set out way too late for our 
climate here. The 100 seeds started well and made the most flowers of the most beautiful colors, just 
a few having single flowers. 1 am well pleased with the shipment and the experience with these 
Dahlias and thank you tor your interest in my venture.

“1 am enclosing a picture* of Polar Snow one of the Dahlias I got of you this spring. This Dahlia 
was planted six weeks later than the rest. At the time this picture was taken, October 18 , tt had fif¬ 
teen blooms and twenty-four buds, and was 8 ft. tall. Black Jack also did good but it had just started 
blooming when the frost came October 28 . I sure am pleased with the Dahlias 1 got of you so be sure 
and send me your catalog for I want to order some more of you this spring.

‘‘I would like to know the proper way to keep Dahlias over the winter. I dug mine up to put them 
away but don't want to lose them as some of them were the envy of the neighborhood. I bought eight 
ot them and my Cleopatra and Jane Cowd were about 7 feet tall with lots of flowers and beautiful. 
***The Mrs. 1 de Ver Warner* did not come up at all. The Nifty was a beautiful plant having tw r o 
colors and lots of flowers about five feet and bushey.” 
Danielson, Conn., Oct. 17, 1934 
“1 purchased several Dahlias from you this last season and you may be interested in a report of 
them. ****The Kendal Glory was most magnificent and outstanding. The Eagle Rock Jewel was a 
beautiful canary yellow with royal purple reverse on petals which twisted and curled and showed from 
the front and was a real Cactus beauty. ****I must mention your gift Dahlia to me for it was out¬ 
standing. It was Kendal Marinarata. The plant grew after- disbudding to 10 feet tall and such mag¬ 
nificent blooms. Words baffle any description. Eight inch blooms and pick the blossoms and more 
kept coming trom seemingly nowhere but there they were again. On the whole I had the best Dahlia 
season I have ever had. Many thanks.”
