FOREWORD --- 
Customers and Friends: . 
We have enjoyed doing business with you the past years, and now 
that the war is over and everything is at peace, we hope that there will be 
a continuance of friendly business during the coming years. 
Your confidence in Lakeside Gardens has been most gratifying. We 
want to aid our customers in every way possible so do not hesitate to write 
us of your problems and perhaps we can work together to raise better 
dahlias. : 
Many customers and friends visited us last season and we were very 
pleased to see and meet them, and also to show them our gardens when 
they are in full bloom, which is about the first part of August until frost. 
We thank you and hope that we can be of some help to make 1946 
your best dahlia year.

TWO WAYS TO BUY LAKESIDE DAHLIAS 
ROOTS—Dahlia roots are divisions of field-grown clumps of dahlias. Each 
root must have at least one “‘eye’’ from which the plant grows. Sturdy 
plants and fine exhibition flowers grow from roots. 
GREEN PLANTS—Green plants are sprouts or cuttings taken from clumps 
grown in greenhouses; rooted in bencnes; potted and grown under 
greenhouse conditions until well established and then moved outside 
to cold frames for proper hardening off. When they reach you they 
gre ready for planting. Green plants will produce flowers equal to 
roots when well grown for exhibition, but will not produce as large 
clumps for the following season. When properly grown from healthy 
stock, however, many varieties will produce nice clumps.
