GREETINGS

FOR 19 35 
T o all my friends and customers and to all dahlia lovers and growers every¬ 
where I extend my hearty greetings for a happy and prosperous NEW YEAR. The 
business depression which has hit every industry including the dahlia growing is very 
slowly but surely lifting and the whole world is looking forward with hope to a new 
year of increasing activity. 
Dahlia fanciers have shown marked interest the past year in the minature and 
pompom type of dahlias and many new varieties have been shown- Mignons. mina- 
tures, shows, cactus and decorative types in lovely colors are now for sale. These 
small dahlias not only make a fine showing in the garden as they bloom very pro¬ 
fusely but are also excellent for cut flowers. I will have a fine display of these as 
well as hundreds of the larger varieties in my gardens this coming summer. I hope 
to welcome many visitors there this season as in the past. 
Very truly yours 
Dr. Shirley Smith Shattuck
