GREETINGS- 
— FOR 1938 
TTo all my friends and customers of former years and to all those whom it 
may Ibe my pleasure to serve in 1938 my best wishes for a happy and prosperous 
year to come. 
The past season was a fine growing one the Cape and this in spite of the dry 
weather which prevailed everywhere. I started my planting about April 1st and 
my gardens were not hurt by frost until November. This long growing season 
which makes fine strong tubers is due to the proximity of the ocean. 
1 will have all the new varieties of large dahlias this 3 ear as well as all the 
old favorites of past years. 1 have added many new varieties to my already large 
collec&iott of pom pom singles and mignon types. These small dahlias still rank 
high in the public favor both for their profuse showing in the garden and for 
their excellence as cut flowers. 
I receive many letters each year of appreciation concerning my own seedlings. 
Space does not permit the printing of them here.
