FRIENDS :— 
I wish to thank you for your 
confidence in me and my stock. 
Your Goodwill and Patronage is 
highly appreciated and I assure 
you, that the stock I send out is 
free of mosaic and ring-spot di- 
seases. 
My list is not elaborate, and if 
it was, it would not improve the 
quality of the stock. It speaks for 
me, and is my personal message to 
you, describing simply over one 
hundred varieties, that are grown 
and exhibited, wherever good 
dahlias are known and appreci- 
ated. A healthy stock has a speci- 
fic value and is cheaper, than the 
plants, that were pulled outgeeos 
those, that stunted. 
My business motto may be old- 
fashioned, but it continues to give 
me the most pleasure and satisfac- 
tion :— I treat you, as I would like 
others to treat me. 
Best wishes to all of you. 
Sincerely, 
Frank J. Parenica.
