We are again pleased to present our DAHLIA BLUE BOOK, and 
through it greet the many friends and customers which it has helped to 
make for us. 
1943 bids fair to be a year of unusual strain and stress upon the 
peoples of our beloved country. With the curtailment of many of our 
former pleasures and pastimes, our homes and gardens will assume a new 
and greater importance in their capacity for relaxation from the strenuous 
days which lie ahead of us. There is no more quieting influence than a4 
home with a good garden of flowers. Again dahlias will play their ever 
increasing role in the garden scheme. 
For thirteen years we have been building quality into our dahlias at no 
insignificant cost. This extra quality is your assurance of better success 
with less effort. The cost to you is very little, if any, greater than for 
average quality stock. We ask that you keep this in mind if you want the 
utmost pleasure from your dahlias.
