tive Dahlias and—The 12 Best Blooms of Dahlias originated in California. 
Reports from the East are more than generous in praising the high^ ^ality of the 
Angelo Rossi Dahlia. Read what one customer has to say: 
“Have never bothered before to write to a dahlia originator but your Angelo Rossi was so good and so very satisfactory for me this 
year that I want to tell you about it. I never had a bloom that was not perfect nor did I have a bloom without a perfect stem. In 
addition after first blooms were cut I allowed 15 to 20 stalks to grow for second bloom and yet the blooms were plenty large enough 
and I have never seen a dahlia before that would bloom 20 canes on one plant from one crop without one imperfect bloom or stem.’’ 
“Grew just about every 1935 Honor Roll Dahlia among approximately 125 new ones but your Angelo Rossi and the Mrs. F. W. 
Bradley I received from you were two of the best twelve I had, including some fifty odd new foreign varieties.”
