FOREWARD 
Customers and Friends: 
We have enjoyed doing business with you the past 
years, and we hope that there will be a continuance of 
friendly business during the coming years. 
Your confidence in Lakeside Dahlia Gardens has 
been most gratifying. We want to aid our customers 
in every way possible so do not hesitate to write us 
of your problems and perhaps we can work together 
to raise better dahlias. 
Many customers and friends visited us last season 
and we were very pleased to see and meet them, also 
to show them our gardens when they are in full 
bloom, which is about the middle of August until frost. 
We thank you and hope that we can be of some 
help to make 1941, your best dahlia year.

TWO WAYS TO BUY LAKESIDE 
DAHLIAS 
ROOTS—Dahlia roots are divisions of field-grown 
clumps of dahlias. Each root must have at least 
one “eye” from which the plant grows. Sturdy 
plants and fine exhibition flowers grow from roots. 
GREEN PLANTS—Green plants are sprouts or cut- 
tings taken from clumps grown in greenhouses; 
rooted in benches; potted and grown under green- 
house conditions until well established and then 
moved outside to cold frames for proper harden- 
ing off. When they reach you they are ready for 
planting. Green plants will produce flowers equal 
to roots when well grown for exhibition, but will 
not produce as large clumps for the following sea- 
son. When properly grown from healthy stock, 
however, many varities will produce nice clumps.
