Mr. John J. Zant. 
Dear Sir: 
I am sending you a few pictures of the most wonderful 
dahlias I have ever raised. I have a hobby and that is raising 
dahlias. I have about five hundred now. I have bought them 
all over the country and won many ribbons, but I will say 
I have never seen any dahlias to compete with Zant’s.
