GREETINGS 
In presenting this catalog to you, we wish to extend 
fo our many old, new and future friends, sincere 
wishes for the best of everything in 1941, and for 
the coming years. 
It is obvious that it would be quite impossible for 
us to list all the dahlias that are on the market today. 
The fact that we do not list a dahlia does not neces- 
sarily mean it isn’t worthwhile, but those we do list we 
think enough of to grow ourselves. 
To those of you who are receiving this catalog for 
the first time, we would like you to know that every 
crder, large or small, receives our personal attention 
and our service does mot end upon delivery of your 
order. With us a sale is not complete until the pur- 
chaser is completely satisfied. A trial order will con- 
vince you why there is an ever increasing demand for 
our products. 
Above all, we wish to thank our customers who have 
recommended us to their friends as we realize that 
these reccmmendations are the finest testimonials we 
cculd ever received. 
Sincerly, 
JAMES BURNS, JR. 
HAZEL GOTTLIEB.
