Greetings , Dahlia & Floral Friends: 
V\T 7ITH real pleasure I send you this pocket 
\X/ size Spring Catalog and Cultural Guide of 
Dahlias, etc , for 1938. I feel sure you will 
find it interesting and instructive. 
Have made descriptions as complete as the 
space will allow and feel confident that they are 
truthful and without any exaggeration. 
In some of the years past, I have often had 
a larger quanity of Dahlia roots to offer, but never 
have I had them of better quality than this year. 
I thank you for all past favors, and assure 
you that each order will receive prompt attention. 
Yours for better dahlias and health, 
28 Years of Careful Dahlia Growing 
in Portland. Oregon.

Grow something new and different each season, and 
whe'n some gorgeous new flower begins to open for 
the first time, your interest will increase. Friends 
and neighbors will exclaim over its beauty of form 
and color-and you will glow with pleasure.
