Qreetings 
To Our Customers and Friends 
It is with pleasure that we present this, 
our 1936 catalogue of new and standard va¬ 
rieties of dahlias taking this way to thank 
you for your kind support, but wishing we 
could meet you and thank you personally. 
We do not list any dahlias that we would not 
or have not grown ourselves. All our root 
stock is firm and full of vitality. It has not 
been over-fertilized or over watered to force 
size of bloom for our many showings last year. 
All roots are branded with a star for your 
protection as well ours. 
During the present year we hope to meet 
many of you at the various shows, especially 
the National Dahlia Show, Michigan State 
Fair, Detroit, and the Mid-West show at 
Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as many others we 
possibly can attend. 
WM. SMITH, C. L. FLEMING.
