Foreword 
O NCE again we send you our catalogue 
of new, and not-so-new Dahlias. In 
checking over the list we feel a great sense 
of satisfaction, in presenting this excellent 
collection of Dahlias for 1936. 
Seldom in the cycle of events, do we find 
ideal conditions. Last season was one of 
thqse rare occasions. A perfect growing 
season for Dahlias. First and foremost, we 
had abundant rainfall when needed. The 
days were warm and sunny, but the nights 
were cool with heavy dews. This com¬ 
bination produced strong, vigorous plants. 
Roots, when dug, were firm, well matured 
and healthy. 
We feel we can offer this stock to a dis¬ 
criminating clientele with perfect confidence 
in its quality. Much time and money may 
be saved by buying from a reliable, estab¬ 
lished firm. 
Our appreciation to our many friends, 
who have certainly encouraged us in our 
efforts, by their patronage.
