Dahlia Show Garden 
VISITORS WELCOME 
Our show gardens are located on Walker Ave., two and 
one-quarter miles north of West Leonard St. city limits. 
Call and get acquainted. It pays. 
My gardens and field plantings are at their best usually 
from September 15th on, as most of the late plantings are 
in bloom then. Many varieties bloom early in August even 
if I do not finish planting until July Ist. 
19438 GREETINGS 
To my dahlia customers and dahlia friends, who visited 
my gardens and fields, I must give thanks for the past 
successiul season. 
The past season we had plenty of rain and this fall a fine 
root crop, although the frost came early. I have reduced the 
price on many fine varieties and trust this will meet your 
approval. Owing to the curtailing of many things on account 
of the war, I advise ordering and shipping a little earlier 
in the season. Having purchased many 1943 introductions I 
am listing some of them in my book, but if there is some 
certain new ones you want and I do not list, please advise 
and I will try to furnish you. 
Much success with dahlias in your garden depends on 
good healthy roots and plants to start with, so buy Michigan 
grown and inspected dahlias to get best results. 
Thanking you again for all past favors, 
Yours respectfully, 
A ADEA, 
My Own Special Packing 
My plants will again be grown and shipped in the 3x3x3 
hanieecds | still am ‘convinced they are the best. Some 
growers I know, grow and ship in 3 inch pots but why are 
some growers who sell plants, growing for their own plani- 
ings in the bands? They get a better start and grow nice 
straight roots to divide, that's why. 
Although it costs about 25% more to ship in bands, 
I will continue to give my customers the benefit and 
use the 3x3x3 bands. 
Special Information 
All orders, large or small, will be appreciated. Have your 
friends write a card for our catalogue. Or if you do not 
wish to keep our book and care to pass it on fo some one 
interested, it will be appreciated.
