What Others Think of Our Dahlias 
Each year we receive more and more appieciative 
letters from pleased customers, such as those re-printed 
below: 
From Fairfield, Conneticut, a customer writes: “It 
seems to me that your roots give stronger and healthier- 
looking flowers than those grown from roots purchased 
in the East, all due perhaps to over-fertilization by the 
Eastern growers.” 
A letter from Grant, Nebraska, reads: “Last Spring, 
I ordered dahlia roots from you which have been ex¬ 
ceptionally fine and are still full of large blooms; at 
our County Fair, they were awarded five first prizes. 
I grew these without fertilizer, and am very proud of 
my success with your roots. People here say they never 
saw such large flowrs on dahlias except in California. 
I attribute this to your healthy stock.” 
And from Menomonie, Wisconsin, another customer 
reports: “Just a line to let you know I won two first 
prizes, one second prize and two third prizes in the 
flower show on my dahlias. It certainly nays to get 
good stock to start with!” 
Another encouraging letter from Emerson, N. J., 
reads: “Now that my dahlias are dug and stored away, 
I must tell you of my success at the Shows. In five 
shows, I entered 27 classes, one entry in each class, and 
received 25 ribbons—1 Special, 17 firsts, 6 seconds and 
1 third. One of the first prizes and the Special was 
awarded your own origination, “His Eminence,” it was 
the best in the Informal-Decorative class, and the 
largest and most perfect in the show.” 
This letter also comes from New Jersey (Newark): 
“Your dahlia roots can’t be surpassed for clean, healthy, 
good producers of nice plants and lovely flowers. And, 
your prices are very reasonable. I purchased years 
ago many dahlia roots from other firms, and paid big 
prices for them, but never had half the success I had 
with those from your firm.” 
Complete names and addreses of any of these cus¬ 
tomers will be gladly furnished upon request,
