To Our Customers And Friends 
T GIVES us much pleasure to hand you this, our 1936 
descriptive Dahlia catalogue, for your consideration. 
We are grateful to those whose patronage has carried us on 
to greater things. This year we have searched the world’s 
Dahlia markets for new, fine novelties to grace your gardens. 
Especially do we wish to express our appreciation for the kind 
help of those most able, and reliable friends from across the 
seas, who have guided us with our foreign selections. 
For those of you who wish the very new—we will have after 
April 1, several late outstanding foreign novelties. If you want 
something your friends wont have — ask about these. 
Being originators and introducers of fine, new Dahlias, it was 
gratifying to have had “the most outstanding new Dahlia in the 
Show,’’ at Cincinnati last fall, with our new seedling DEAN 
ANDERSON, and due to our mistake this Dahlia was not en¬ 
tered in the Achievement Medal Class. 
When visiting the great Mid West Dahlia Show at Cincin¬ 
nati, September 26th and 27th, 1936, stop and see us; we will 
be glad to show you our new ones. 
Wishing you great success with your Dahlias this year. 
Sincerely, 
MAD RIVER GARDENS
