GREETINGS: 
To All Our Friends and Dahlia Lovers: 
We express our thanks to all our good customers 
for their kind help and good words that they passed along 
to their friends in praise of our dahlia stock, all of which 
helped to make this past year the best on record, as to 
volume of business. We deeply appreciate their faith in 
us. Thus, prospective customers can select desired varie- 
ties with the assurance of fair dealing and quality stock. 
And so, we wish you a New Year brim full of dahlia 
success, unprecedent happiness, and prosperity, not be- 
cause it is the customary thing to do, but because it’s a 
sentiment genuinely felt. 
Yours for better results, 
Sincerely, 
SPARKS DAHLIA GARDENS.
