Dear Sir: 
I saw in our Sunday paper that you have a splendid exhibit of dahlias at the World’s Fair. 
Do you raise them to sell? If so, I am interested in your varieties and prices cf your bulbs.

In acknowledging receipt of the Dahlia roots; kindly allow me to express my sincere apprecia- 
tion for same and you may rest assured that I will advise from time to time as to how they are

My Dear Mr. Parrella: 
Again you shall be the first to whom I write about my Show record. My this year’s winning 
average (compared with number of entries) is lower than last year’s, but this season I took more 
chances (with bad transportation), entering bigger Shows with tougher competition, and I am more 
than satisfied with the results. Out of 49 entries in 5 Shows I received: 20 Firsts, 10 Seconds, 5 
Thirds, 1 Sweepstake, 1 Medal, 1 Special, and 1 Honorable Mention. Blooms from your stock 
received 6—1—3—-2—1—-3 and 1 Honorable Mention, with many, many other excellent blooms not 
ready on Show dates. M. S.
