WHY NOT VISIT US AT DAHLIADEL? 
Nothing gives us greater satisfaction than to have 
crowds of visitors. Of course there is more to see 
during September and October when our fields are an 
exotic mass of color, but our latch string is out at 
all times. Even in winter a trip to our green-houses 
or our air-conditioned propagating houses is both 
interesting and instructive. 
We try to contact as many of our visitors as possi- 
ble with our staff, and to cheerfully give any inform- 
ation desired. We are often helped by your criticisms 
and suggestions, and welcome individual opinions of 
various varieties. 
On our Field Days we are literally swamped. We 
staged a daily flower show in one of our buildings, 
emphasizing, as we did in our exhibits at the vari- 
ous shows, the adaptability and worth of the dahlia 
in arrangement work. We were the recipients of many 
kind words from our visitors over this innovation and 
expect to continue this exhibit in 1941. 
Many of our visitors never realized how well the 
dahlia fits into arrangement work and were loud in 
their expressions of amazement. 
If you cannot visit us here, we would be happy to 
meet you at the shows where we exhibit or judge. 
So try and arrange to come, and if from a distance, 
we will gladly furnish auto routes to Dahliadel.
