Greetings 
At this particular time each year I welcome the opportunity of 
expressing my sincere thanks and appreciation to my many 
friends and customers throughout the country, for their splendid 
patronage and orders during the past season. I only wish it were 
possible for me to write a personal note of "thank you” to the 
more than 2,000 customers who have contributed to the success 
of Oakleigh Gardens. 
Many good things are in store for Dahlia fans for 1936 — never 
before have we listed such an array of stars of the Dahlia world, 
including Oakleigh Monarch, the Triple Honor Roll Dahlia, Oak¬ 
leigh Princess, the sensational Semi-Cactus, Grand Slam, and dozens 
of other outstanding new creations. You will always find the best 
and newest Dahlias at Oakleigh Gardens — growers of Champions 
by actual proof. 
Thousands of visitors viewed our plantings of 40,000 dahlias 
in 1935. Visitors came from far and near and it was a genuine 
pleasure to make your personal acquaintance and to chat with you 
on Dahlia culture. I hope you will surely come again in 1936 and 
I also hope to meet many new friends and customers. Please come 
and make yourself right to home. 
For 1937 we will introduce Miss Oakland, a splendid white 
Formal Decorative — Royal Pacific, a purple seedling of Satan 
and Oakleigh Supreme — all Certificate of Merit winners. Watch 
for these sensational Dahlias at your regional Show and in the 
exhibition gardens of representative growers, coast-to-coast. 
Thanks again for your splendid orders and letters. I hope you 
will write me personally if I can be of any service or help to you 
in the proper selection of stock for your 1936 garden. 
Cordially yours,
