EXCELL DAHLIA GARDENS 
INTRODUCTION 
In presenting my 1936 list of dahlias I wish to thank 
ray patrons for their kind patronage and I shall try 
my best to merit a continuance of that patronage by 
sending out only the best stock possible. 
Have you tried My Green Plants? They are all 
base cuttings that are well rooted and will produce 
good strong roots. These plants are shipped in special 
boxes that will reach you safely. I have shipped plants 
to all parts of the U. S. A. with plants arriving in 
perfect condition. Plants will produce better blooms 
and roots.
