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. 
1944, GREETINGS 
The 1943 season has been a very successful one and 
we wish to thank all our customers for their patronage. 
The growing season here has never been better for the 
production of roots from plants as my plant gardens did 
not freeze until October 30—and this gave the tubers 
plenty of time to ripen. 
Owing to the curtailment of planting of dahlias in many 
sections and severe drought in others it will be impossible 
to replace stock of varieties I am limited on. In order not 
to be disappointed order a little earlier than usual. We 
have had to raise the prices of a few on account of limited 
supply and the extra cost of labor. 
Yours respectfully, 
A. T. EDISON. 
My Own Special Packing 
My plants will again be grown and shipped in the 3x3x3 
bands as I 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 plant- 
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.
