Greetings —1935 
In presenting this, our 1935 catalogue, we do 
so with the thoughts of the past season, that the 
varieties offered are the best in their color and 
type. 
Our thoughts go back to our field of bloom 
and to the shows we visited and where we exhibit¬ 
ed. 
We exhibited at the West Michigan State Fair, 
at Grand Rapids; Michigan State Fair, at Detroit, 
Michigan; Jackson County Fair, at Jackson, Michi¬ 
gan; where we were awarded prizes on all exhibits. 
At the Mid-West Dahlia Show held in Grand 
Rapids, we were awarded 19 ribbons on 22 entries. 
Also at the Indiana State Show. 
EXTRA 
We were the only grower from Michigan to 
exhibit at the A. D. S. show held in New York city, 
and were awarded a Bronze Medal for express air 
entry of 50 blooms. 
This proves that we must have good dahlias 
or we could not win wherever we exhibited. 
We wish to call your attention to our collec¬ 
tions from $2.00 to $6.00, and are confident you 
will find some to your liking. 
Therefore, we solicit your trade. If you have 
never given us an order, give us a small one now. 
It will receive our most careful attention. 
Yours for prize winning dahlias in 1935,
