I have grown dahlias in Texas for twenty-three years but I have never had one like ‘your 
Wanda Meade, that could take our hot days and still stay full of flowers. There has not been a 
sing'e day since June Ist that I have not had flowers on beth of them and. now the middle of 
November they are full of buds and flowers. It is the best dahlia I have ever seen—preitty as well 
as insect resistant.

Dear Mr. Parella: 
Thought I might drop you a line about the dahlias I got from you, you mary be interested. 
Had a hot dry summer but the dahlias came thru pretty well. The very early bloomers go to 
pieces. They don’t last until good dahlia weather comes in October. The later bloomers seem to 
take it better. All your rocts did well. Marshall Howe is very good.

Dear Sir: 
I am writing to ‘you to ask you a favor. My Auntie, who lives in your state and who never 
tires of telling me about the dahlias she gets from ycu felt sure if I asked you, you would send 
m- 2 of your illustrated catalogues. She won’t part with hers. 
MISS” W. B: 
Dear Mr. Parella: 
Received your lovely Xmas card, and thank you for your kind remembrance of me. If all 
goes well in 45 and Uncle Sam let’s us have more gas will be down to see you as I am going to 
use my car the lst of the year. I haven’t used it since the chauffeur went away two ‘years ago. 
He is stifl down in Maxwell Field. I had such grand luck with my dahlias last season. Some 
display Vin well crinkles and Vin W. Dainty was one mass of blooms and Katie K was so 
beautiful, some size; also Bakers Best; even the roots I had of you before done sa well. You 
wil hear from me in the spring. Am anxious to see some of' the newer ones next season. Merry 
Xmas and Happy New Year to you all. ae 
Searsdale, N. Y., Dec. 17, 1944. 
Dear Mr. Parella: 
I thought ‘you might like to see what results some of us amateurs get from your roots and 
plan.s. That is Lynn Fontaine I am standing beside, it measured 13 inches across. The Paragon 
and Adele Henderson are in the background. You can see by the picture that not only the flower 
but the stems and foliage are very good. aie

To whem it may concern: 
Having read your Dahlia advertisement in the Sunday American, I am sending my request 
for tne free catalog. I have seen some of ‘your flowers at Bronx Park and like them very much. 
Thanking you in advance, I remain, mp eeeye
