Dear Mr. Parrella: 
The dahlias I bought from you last year did very well, they made a very 
fine showing. Many thanks for the extras you sent me. J. W. F.

A comment from Prof. R. G. Huey, of Paintsville, Kentucky, on some of 
our dahlias: 
A. L. ALEXANDER came as near fulfilling the description given in your 
catalogue as it is possible to do so, and I can see where its popularity 
originates. The blooms are large, produced freely on good stems and certainly 
add color to their part of the garden. Medium growth, and height, good 
foliage and bush and a persistent bloomer. 
MARGIE PARRELLA surely an outstanding cut flower—the color always 
clean and the stems rigid. Growth and plant habits are excellent. In addition 
the formation adds charm and grace. I grew this between plants of two other 
new white dahlias recommended for cut flower purposes, and Margie Parrella 
easily outclasses them as a commercial flower. 
DARCY SAINSBURY, highly satisfactory behavior this season. Centers 
perfect this season and none low. The canes, foliage and habits are all ex¬ 
cellent and the flowers produced in abundance. I saw this dahlia exhibited more 
frequently this past show season than any other one white. It is remarkably 
uniform in its behavior. 
Sincerely yours. 
R. G. HUEY.

Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I wish to let you know the dahlia plants arrived Thursday, the 18th of 
May, in perfect order. Not even a leaf was crushed; it is just wonderful the 
way you packed them for shipping. A. V. A.

Dear Sir:

thanks for same. W. H. S.

Dear Sir: 
We liked the dahlia plants so well we purchased of you last year, that we 
are ordering a few roots. I. S.

My Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I wish to acknowledge the receipt of the dahlias in good condition, and to 
thank you for the gratis. J. P. C. G. 
Emerson, N. J., November 16th, 1939. 
Dear Mr. Parrella: 
Now that my dahlias are up and stored away, I must tell you how I 
made out at the Shows. It was a most successful season for me, thanks to some 
of the flne stock I received from you. In five Shows I had entered twenty-seven 
classes (one entry in each) and came out with twenty-five ribbons. M. S.
