BILL ARBURY IS A DAHLIA OF REAL MERIT 
Bronx, N. Y., April 17th, 1939. 
Dear Sir: 
Please send the bulbs on or very near May 19th or 20th, as I leave the 
City May 23rd, and must have them. Be sure they have good eyes as I want no 
failures this year. Don’t get out of patience with me, because I have had so 
many failures, but not of yours, that is why I came back to you. E.M. 
New York City, N. Y., February 21st, 1939. 
Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I enclose herewith my check, for which I should be glad to have you mail 
me a few of your good dahlia seeds. Last year I tried a change and purchased 
some seeds from Australia, which were highly recommended. It turned out to 
be a mistake. They were not nearly as satisfactory as yours have always been.

Dear Sir: 
I received all my dahlia bulbs O. K., and I wish to thank you for the extra 
bulbs you sent me. E. H. 
Montreal, Canada, Sept. 16th, 1939. 
Dear Sir: 
I am writing to you in respect to the dahlias and seed I had gotten from 
you. Miss Oakland was very pretty and was admired by every one who saw it, 
and your remarks in your Catalogue bears this out well. Elite Glory speaks 
for itself. Star of Bethlehem is hard to beat. I could hardly tell you which I 
liked the better of the two. Last but not least. City of Wellston; frankly this 
is a great dahlia. It wouldn’t be a bad idea if you gave it a fresh name, “The 
Perfect Dahlia.” It is a profuse bloomer, free from insects, good stem, and 
bears good roots, and color most beautiful. 
From the seed I purchased from you I had gotten 30 fine plants, well 
grown, and the most beautiful colors I have ever seen. Six of them being very 
outstanding, being over 6 feet in height, and the flowers I had gotten from them 
was over 10 inches wide without disbudding. This is the second time they have 
bloomed September 16th, and I can highly recommend these seeds to anyone 
who is going in for high class dahlias. J. R. 
Anniston, Alabama, October 13th, 1939. 
Gentlemen: 
During the spring of this year I purchased a few dahlia roots and plants 
from you and I should like to give you the benefit of my experience with these. 
In all of my experience, which is very limited, in working with dahlias I 
have never had more entirely satisfactory plants than those which you have 
furnished. It was my first dealings with you and they have been thoroughly 
satisfactory. J. N. C. 
Brooklyn, N. Y., February 22nd, 1939. 
Dear Sir: 
Have not received your 1939 Catalo^e. Trust I have not been overlooked. 
This mild weather is getting me thinking of ordering my dahlias. Wish to 
state that the “Mad River Chief” I bought from you last year is better than you 
can describe it in your Catalogue. It’s a dream! T. W. B., Jr.
