SAGAMORE GARDENS 
A FEW EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS CONCERNING MY CREATIONS 
Dear Sir 
Recently I visited the dahlia garden of Mrs. -at Milwaukee and saw there 
the finest yellow dahlia in bloom I ever saw. in fact, I did not dream there was such 
a fine yellow in existence. Mrs.-was not at home and the party who escorted 
me through her gardens did not know anything about it On the stake was a tag with 
the name “King of Yellows”. I searched through my dahlia catalogues to find this 
variety listed but in vain and yet I felt that I had seen the name before. Finally in 
turning the pages of the American Dahlia Society Bulletin I saw your advertisement, 
and am writing to find out if this fine dahlia I saw in Milwaukee is the one you ad¬ 
vertise by that name- 
Sincerely, 
Mr. G. R. C. 
Baltimore, Md. 
Sagamore Gardens- 
Dr. S- S. Shattuck, 
Dear Dr. 
I guess by this time your fields are loaded with blooms and you are satisfied with 
this season. 
I am growing A. Legion, The Commodore, Full Moon and the King of Yellows 
and I want to say the first three mentioned do not stand a show against the -King of 
Yellows. 
All of our visitors cannot stop talking about it. I showed three blooms at 
Atlantic City and it was the talk of the show. Now the Baltimore Show is next week 
and I would like to show in there but do not think I will have any open then. Could 
you ship down about 12 blooms as I know it will bring you wonderful results in 
selling roots? Hoping to hear from you at once I remain. 
Yours truly, 
S. K. 
From Frederick Dixon- Scotch Plains, N. J- 
Last season when Dr. Shattuck urged me to buy this dahlia I wondered? Well 
no need longer to wonder, it is a beauty and I regret that I have not more of it. This 
dahlia will need very little if any boosting, even if in competition with A. Legion.

Your King- of Yellows is a dandy and I have a nice stock of it, also your Saga¬ 
more Prince- I had a display at the Western Wash. Fair for a week and a basket of 
twelve blooms of Sagamore Prince setting on the floor stopped everyone that saw it. 
All the blooms were on top and that is the way to display top bloomers. 
From the State of Indiana. 
Please send me your dahlia catalogue for 1935 as soon as it is ready. I grew 
your President Roosevelt and Sagamore Prince the past season and they were just 
great. Full of blooms all season and held their size- I also visited a friend in 
Indianapolis and I saw his Pres. Roosevelt and it was also large and beautiful. These 
were two of the best dahlias I had the pleasure of seeing this past season.
