DAHLIAS FOR 1943 
GREETINGS TO OUR DAHLIA FRIENDS 
AND CUSTOMERS 
Again we take great pleasure in handing you our 
Catalogue for 1943. During this war emergency you no 
doubt like ourselves will be converting a part of your 
dahlia garden to growing vegetables. However we be- 
lieve we should all grow a few flowers as it would in- 
deed be a dreary world without them. So friends send 
us your dahlia orders and we will endeavor to give the 
same prompt and courteous service as always. This 
year we are sticking in a free root of our selection with 
each order. This has always been our policy when pos- 
sible and we are glad to do it. If you will send a list 
of the varieties that you now have, we will be sure to 
send something that is different. (Does not apply to 
wholesale orders.)
