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. 
1945 GREETINGS 
Again I have harvested a good crop of roots better than 
1943 — as the frost was nearly four weeks later on all field 
planted roots. 
The season was dry for about five weeks but I had the 
ground well prepared before planting and kept it well cul- 
tivated to hold the moisture until the fall rains came to 
finish them in grand shape. 
This year there is a great shortage of roots in many 
localities where in the past I could buy a few roots to finish 
filling orders if I ran short but now I have to depend on my 
own stocks therefore I have withdrawn several varieties to 
grow more stock for next year. 
Have discontinued the shipping of plants for 1945 on 
account of labor conditions, but will grow them as usual 
in my gardens. 
Thanking you for your past patronage and trusting I may 
have the opportunity to fill your future orders. 
Yours respectfully,
