Greetings 
"C ACH year I welcome this opportunity of expressing sincere 
thanks and genuine appreciation to my many friends and 
customers throughout the country for their splendid patronage 
and orders during the past season. Thanks to you, our sales 
in 1938 were the largest in history and I only wish it were 
possible for me to write a personal note of "thank you’’ to the 
more than 2400 customers who have contributed to the success 
of Oakleigh Gardens. 
Many good things are in store for Dahlia fans in 1939 — 
never before have we listed such an array of stars of the 
Dahlia world, including Monarch of the East, Grand Master, 
Grace Moore, Red Sunset, Sleepy Hollow and dozens of other 
outstanding new introductions. You will always find the best 
and newest Dahlias at Oakleigh Gardens — largest growers of 
new varieties in the Mid-West — Champions by actual proof. 
May I call your particular attention to our sensational Bargain 
Offers and Personal Service Offers for 1939. Each of these 
Offers represent extreme value and most for your money. Each 
Collection has been balanced for color range and only the most 
dependable, "sure to please,” Dahlias have been chosen, to insure 
perfect satisfaction. Please note our liberal, unreserved Guar¬ 
antee, —- our past reputation for fair dealing is your assurance 
of honest treatment. 
Hundreds of visitors viewed our plantings in 1938 and it 
was a genuine pleasure to make your personal acquaintance and 
to chat with you about Dahlia culture. I hope you will surely 
come again in 1939 and I also hope to meet many new friends 
and customers personally. Please come and make yourself right 
to home, — we will be delighted to have you, — plenty of 
parking room for all. 
Cordially yours, 
*c.
