LIMESTONE GARDENS, Washington, Ky. 
A PERSONAL LETTER TO EACH OF YOU 
We wonder if any interest, religion excepted, can mould 
friendship as quickly and as universally as flowers, particu¬ 
larly dahlias? And while wondering, another question al¬ 
ways suggests itself. Why are flower growers in general 
such a decent lot of folks? Probably you too, have pondered 
these questions. The answer to both evidently is the same. 
Flowers are wholesome and morally constructive. In general 
they appeal to the finer fiber in mankind whether he be 
Doctor, Street Sweeper or Artist, bringing all together on 
a common premise, forgetting superficial marks of distinction 
placed upon each by society. 
Naturally those growing dahlias commercially should 
conduct their business in an exemplary manner. They should 
always strive to render that type of service rightfully expected 
in any profession or business of the highest calling. 
In this spirit our catalog has been compiled. Descrip¬ 
tions and habits of growth of dahlias are given as they ap¬ 
peared to us. If originators find our ratings of their intro¬ 
ductions severe, please remember, our ratings are based on 
behavior in our gardens—the fairest test at our command. 
It always gives us much pleasure to have our customers 
pay us a visit when passing through our community. Please 
do not disappoint us. 
We extend to you heartiest wishes for a pleasant and 
successful season. 
Sincerely, 
MR. AND MRS. F. W. GALLOWAY
