FOREWORD 
After nearly twenty years in the Dahlia business with Miss 
M. G. Tyler, my sister, who passed away a year ago, it is 
with regret I find it too hard for me to carry on alone, and 
at the end of this season I am intending to retire. 
As the business member of the firm I am not known to 
our many customers except from my name on the letterhead, 
as all letters were signed with the firm name, M. G. Tyler, 
with either her initials or mine. 
Through correspondence our customers seem like personal 
friends, and I take this way to thank you all for your many 
favors and to solicit a continuance of them through the com¬ 
ing season, and to inform you in order to liquidate my stock, 
which is the best we have ever had, I am offering you my 
1938 catalogue with every dahlia listed at a drastically re¬ 
duced price, with the exception of SHIRLEY TEMPLE, 
winner of the American Home Achievement Medal at our 
dahlia show in September.
