GREETINGS 
T T is with distinct pleasure and sincere gratitude that I reflect on 
the many splendid new relations established during the 1936 
season, — and the renewal of mutually pleasant associations with 
my thousands of regular customers, who, year after year, are so 
generous with their orders and friendly complimentary letters. 
Truly, the rapidly growing popularity of Oakleigh quality must be 
well deserved. 
Unfortunately, it was necessary to return many orders late in the 
spring because we were sold out and I again urge you to place 
your order early for 1937 to avoid disappointment. Advance book¬ 
ings already indicate an early sell out. Our Special Collections offer 
interesting assortments at genuine worthwhile savings and, if you 
are undecided as to what to order, turn to Page 22 and select one 
of my Personal Service Offers, — you will be thrilled and delight¬ 
ed with my personal selection. 
Our 1936 introductions, Oakleigh Monarch and Oakleigh 
Princess, have proven their merit from coast to coast and I trust you 
will include both in your planting program for the coming Season. 
For 1937, we introduce two more sensational Dahlias, — Miss 
Oakland and Golden Beauty. Both have proven their qualities by 
winning Certificates of Merit at official American Dahlia Society 
Trial Grounds at East Lansing, Michigan, and Storrs, Conn. Both 
will be sold on an unreserved money-back guarantee and may I 
suggest that you insist on a similar assurance from the introducer 
of any new Dahlia, for your own protection. 
May I again thank my many friends and customers for their 
splendid patronage. Please study this little booklet carefully and 
then promptly reserve your stock to make certain you will get just 
the varieties you desire. No hurry about the money, if it is not con¬ 
venient to send at this time, — perfectly all right to mail your 
order now and remit later at your own convenience. You will find 
me eager and happy to cooperate with you in every possible way. 
"You Can Depend on Oakleigh.” Cordially yours,
