GREETINGS 
Dear Dahlia Friends: 
It is with great satisfaction that we present our tenth 
annual price list. The past year has been a trying one 
due to the war and a very wet season. However, last 
fall we harvested a fair crop of roots, and think we will 
have enough to go around. Our list is much shorter 
this year due to the fact that we were sold out of so 
many varieties at planting time last spring. 
This occasion affords an opportunity to thank you, 
our customers, for the nice orders sent us last year and 
other years, be they great or small. We can assure you 
they have been greatly appreciated. 
So friends another year has rolled by, and if you are 
interested in some new dahlias, just sent in your order, 
and we will endeavor to give the same prompt and 
courteous service as always. 
The first five on the list are 1946 introductions, one of 
which is our own.
