GREETINGS—It is a pleasure to present you this folder containing in my belief 
the best in up-to-date dahlias. Most any variety will win for you at our best 
shows or attract much attention in your garden. 
Many thanks to everyone of you who have advised me personally or sent fine 
letters stating that “Jimmie Foxx”, “Milton J. Cross”, and “Betty Anne” are really 
great exhibition dahlias. On the show table they proved their merit by winning 
many leading awards as best or largest bloom of the show. Mentioning only a 
few awards; at the New York show a bloom of Milton J. Cross was one of the 
largest of the entire show and was awarded three blue ribbons, including best 
bloom. Jimmie Foxx was judged as “Most meritorious single blooms at the fine 
Camden show.” At some of our Eastern shows more blooms of Milton J. Cross 
were displayed than any other variety. Jimmie Foxx when better known should 
be the sensation of the show. 
I feel confident that my new dahlias, “Mrs. M. W. Clement”, “Pink Fantasy”, 
and “Rosy Morn” will make just as impressive record as my previous intro¬ 
ductions. While my new dahlias won six medals this past season the real enjoy¬ 
ment comes when I learn of your winnings. 
Although the foreign dahlias are briefly described they are first class exhibition 
varieties. The new pompons and miniatures are truly outstanding. 
STOCK.—Every root or plant will reach you in good growing condition. Not 
responsible for roots secured before April 1st. Many conditions beyond my control 
will cause losses when propagating dahlia roots. Considering high quality my 
prices give you more for your money. 
Introducing for 1938 
MRS. M. W. CLEMENT ( Johnson) 
I. D. Can be best described as a 
much larger glorified Milton J. 
Cross. Color is gold with apricot. 
The formation of a high center and 
twisting petals makes it most pleas¬ 
ing. A very sturdy grower that will 
come through even with unfavor¬ 
able weather thus insuring you no 
failures. A sensational dahlia giv¬ 
ing you plenty of prize winning 
blooms. Since this exhibition var¬ 
iety has such outstanding qualities 
it is a favorite with me.
