Mr. John Zant, 
Wildwood Gardens, 
Grand Rapids, Michigan. 
Dear Mr. Zant: 
Just a few lines to let you know how much I en¬ 
joyed meeting you at the Dahlia Show in Grand Rapids. 
While the show was very well arranged and the exhibits 
were beautiful, I experienced a far greater thrill in 
visiting your Wildwood Gardens where one can see so 
many varieties of dahlias in bloom and get a better 
idea of the characteristics of the plants and flowers. 
Kindly remember me to Mrs. Zant and your family 
and be sure to drop in and see me any time that you 
are in Chicago. 
Yours very truly, 
JOHN A. GRANT 
JAG:VS 266 Harbor, Glencoe, Illinois
