Prom “Our Friendly Gardens” 
MBS. LEE IN FIELD OF “WASHINGTON GIANT” 
It is a pleasure to present you with our very modest catalog for this season. 
And it is our intention to make real friends of ail who entrusts us with an order. 
We have many hundreds of such friends now and we trust that if your name 
is not already on this list, that we may have the pleasure of adding it on this 
season. 
To do this we must he truthful and trustworthy and this' is our aim at all 
times, and we have done our best to correctly, and briefly, describe the colors, 
stems and habits of the Dahlias just as they grow here in the Gardens for us, 
and we have carefully tested and selected only varieties we believe will give best 
results in your own gardens. 
We had a wonderful growing season, and the soil and location of our Gardens 
on the shore of Puget Sound is ideal for Dahlias and the roots we send out are 
all well matured, and full of “pep.” No stunted stock. This year we have the 
finest list of Dahlias we have ever offered; (see picture on front and we believe 
you will agree this is true) ; our own new introductions, other outstanding American, 
and many new rare imported varieties, which won us 85 prizes, plus 7 SWEEP- 
STAKES and 2 ACHIEVEMENT MEDALS. All blooms entered were from field 
grown stock, which was not forced in any way and only lightly disbudded. So 
we know if they can win prizes for us they can for you also. We are both 
true garden “fans,” and we are always glad to help our friends' in their Dahlia 
problems; we do not claim to “know it all,” but we are glad, to pass on any 
of our 30 years’ experience in Dahlias. We had a good business last year, and 
brighter prospects for this season, and WE’ SINCERELY WISH TO THANK our 
many friends' who made this possible, and we trust our Dahlias pleased you and 
that you will favor us with your orders again this season. 
We cannot “sign off” without thanking all who wrote us such fine letters. 
We enjoyed them all, and we appreciate all favors of those who so kindly recom¬ 
mended usl to their friends. 
We wish you all the best of Health, Happiness and Success. 
Yours sincerely, 
J. W. AND MRS. .T. W. LEE.
