“A Dahlia in Every Garden in 1936’’ 
TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS: 
We take pleasure in presenting you this fine list 
of Modern Dahlias. Many of these are imported 
from other countries. It is our earnest desire to pro- 
cure the very best dahlias possible. Our dahlias are 
field grown without forcing which should assure 
the very best quality for either exhibition or field 
production. Each year we remove the rogues which 
have not grown well, and only offer to you those 
varities which have proven reliable. It is our policy 
to continue to give to our customers the very best 
quality of dahlias that is possible. We have had a 
very successful year in 1935 and hope to continue 
so in 1936.
