FOREWORD 
The usual number of so called Super Dahlias again 
make their appearance for 1937. As usual the 
majority will fade out of the picture after failing to 
live up to their reputations. So we will follow our 
usual custom, by growing some of them and listing 
only those which make good in our gardens. Of 
the 1936 novelties Pride of Austenburg was outstand¬ 
ing with us. Of the imported dahlias Mev-van-Ier- 
sal and Mev-van-Wykuyzen were the favorites. Rial- 
side Ruby and Rialside Grenadine our introductions 
of 1936, made a big hit at the gardens and the 
shows. The most popular Miniatures were Little 
Dream, Bishop of LLandaff and Robbie. Our larg¬ 
est bloom was a 1937 seedling Immense. Size 13 
inches. 
Of the many major awards won by our dahlias, the 
following pleased us most during 1937. 
The Gold Medal at the Fall Show of The North 
Shore Horticultural Society. General Display. 
Blue Ribbon, and Special State Award, Topsfield 
Fair. Display of Miniatures. 
Blue Ribbon, and Special at Beverly, Mass. Gen¬ 
eral Display and Display of Miniatures. 
Best Display and Best Seedling at Lawrence, Mass. 
Best Miniature Seedling at Boston Show. 
Our Introductions for 1937 are all big fellows, and 
as circumstances did not permit us to send them 
to the Trial Gardens, we are pricing them all $2.50 
with a money back guarantee. 
We are now equipped to produce plants in quantity 
and will be pleased to quote on any number of any 
variety. Plants of varieties priced over $1.00 
available after May 1st at half the root price. 
We urge all Dahlia Growers to join The Dahlia 
Society of New England, and The American Dahlia 
Society.
