Dahlia Show Garden 
- VISITORS WELCOME 
Our show gardens are located on corner of Walker Ave. and 
3 mile road, two and one-quarter miles north of West Leon- 
ard 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. 
1946 GREETINGS 
The past season has been a successful one. Owing to 
the short crop of roots in 1944 in other parts of the country, 
I had to depend on my own stock to fill orders and returned 
many late orders being out of suitable roots, but did the 
best I could. 
The 1945 growing season has been poor in many sections 
of the country on account of the cold wet weather at plant- 
ing time and labor shortage, making planting late, then 
hard frosts early in the season. Although many growers 
have only a % crop, I grew my roots on a sandy loam and 
have better roots than last year. Do not wait until plant- 
ing time to order and expect the choicest roots as 1 fill 
orders in rotation. 
Thanks to all my customers for their past orders and I 
hope I may have the pleasure of supplying your wants 
again in 1946. 
Yours respectfully, 
A. T. EDISON.
