INTRODUCTION 
We take pleasure in presenting our 1937 Dahlia cata¬ 
logue to our many friends. You will note the absence of 
old favorites, American and Foreign, but these have been 
supplanted by newer varieties for we grow only the latest 
and the best and discard the rest. 
Our prices are not the cheapest but our roots and 
plants are among the best. 
We shall continue our policy of sending out only the 
strongest, healthiest stock it is possible to produce. Prompt 
and efficient service is assured.
