“Dear Sir: 
Two years ago I bought your collection No. 
1 and I wish (at this rather late day) to 
thank you for your generosity in substituting 
some very fine expensive roots in place of 
those you could not supply as listed in the 
group. You were kind enough to substitute 
Jane Cowl, Saxon Chief, Harry Mayer, and 
other and in accordance with the slogan of 
the National Association of Commercial 
Dahlia Growers I want to say THAT I RE¬ 
CEIVED MORE THAN A “Square Deal.” In 
view of your very generous treatment toward 
a casual buyer whom you never saw or heard 
of before, it is needless to say that I will be 
glad to tell others to deal with Derring-Do 
for an honest and “Square Deal.” 
Very sincerely yours, 
Otta M. Waeterling,

“Dear Mr. Dixon: 
I am again reading your Dahlia Guide, 
very interesting. I believe if all our cus¬ 
tomers could be induced to have a copy, it 
would be helpful to us all, especially the 
cuts on how to plant. Plants, it seems, too 
few understand, they don’t get them deep 
enough.

“Dear Mr. Dixon: 
Another thing you have issued one of the 
finest books on dahlia growing I have ever 
seen and I guess I have seen most of them. 
By that I mean that for Mr. Average Man 
it just simply cannot be bettered. Just why 
some of the other growers have not taken it 
up and issued it from your rights I fail to 
understand. Surely it would be well worth 
all the royalty they have to pay. I know if I 
were in a position to do so I would not hesi¬ 
tate a minute as it gives a service that you 
and I and others like us have had to experi¬ 
ment and work with, until we secured the 
results desired.
