1936 
TO ALL OUR DAHLIA FRIENDS 
GREETINGS 
I T is with great pleasure we present this our 16th 
annual catalog of Dahlias. We take this op¬ 
portunity to thank you for your friendly patron¬ 
age and confidence. We can assure you that our 
utmost endeavor will be to retain this goodwill. 
You will find in this catalog a selection of the 
best varieties of dahlias grown and tested in our 
own gardens so that we can with confidence rec¬ 
ommend them to you at reasonable prices. In our 
descriptions and terms we have tried to make 
them as simple, accurate, and candid as possible, 
using the originator's description on the 1936 
novelties. 
Mr. M. J. Reynolds, Reynolds' Dahlia Gardens, 
Rochester, Mich., represents us in the Mid-west 
where our newer novelties can be seen growing 
previous to their being introduced. We represent 
Mr. Reynolds in the East. Visitors are always 
welcome at our gardens. 
With best wishes for your success with dahlias. 
GEORGE W. FRASER.
