FOREWORD 
We note with keen satisfaction, the continued 
interest in the Dahlia. Each succeeding year the 
standard of perfection is increasing, and a dahlia must 
be really fine to warrant introduction. We have 
many fine seedlings, but are holding them back this 
year, in order to further check, and increase stock. 
Look next year for our Minature sensation. RIAL- 
SIDE BABE. Winner at New York 1938. We 
have not enough stock to release it this year. Our 
featured dahlias of last year fully lived up to our ex¬ 
pectations, so we are again calling your attention to 
them. Don’t forget that if a dahlia is named 
RIALSIDE it must have won major awards. IF 
IT’S TAGGED RIALSIDE IT’S A WINNER.
