Greetings 
Dear Fellow Dahlia Growers: 
As we prepare this catalog, the season of winter has been ushered in. 
Nevertheless, we are thinking of your dahlia garden of 1942. We realize 
that most of you who receive this catalog are good dahlia growers, some 
of whom have been kind enough to favor us with some of their business for 
many years. Others may be just beginners and we are pleased to welcome 
them to world’s finest hobby “DAHLIAS”. Our facilities and experience 
are at their disposal and we shall be only too pleased to assist them in 
solving any horticultural problems they may have in the growing of dahlias. 
In spite of the drought we experienced during the late summer, our 
dahlia root crop was a good one. We have continued our practice of only 
digging roots of healthy plants and discarding those that prove otherwise. 
The picture of our exhibit at The American Dahlia Society Show held in the 
Peace of Natural History in New York last September is a confirmation 
of this. 
We suggest you order early for we anticipate a shortage of a number 
of varieties. We have not advanced the price of our roots, plants or seed, 
in spite of the increased cost of production. Even our new introductions 
which we consider about the best we have ever introduced, we are placing 
on the market at the same price level as our previous introductions. 
It is our earnest wish that you have a most glorious dahlia garden 
in 1942. 
Cordially yours, 
Ruschmohr Dahlia Gardens. 
H. Dewey Mohr. 
Robert D. Mohr.
