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. 
GREETINGS FOR 1947 
Many thanks to my customers of the past season, and | 
hope you had good success with your dahlias. Although 
many sections had a wet spring, then a hot dry summer 
and early frosts, I have received several lettters telling of 
the wonderful flowers they had and requesting my 1947 
book early. I like to hear of your success as a successful 
business must keep ‘the old customers and strive for the 
new ones in order to continue. 
The nine weeks of a hot dry rainless season made the 
roots of my early planted stock a little smaller,mostly from 
pom poms and minatures, but my other stock turned out 
fine roots. Early frosts has made a shortage of roots in 
many sections, so place your orders early to be sure of the 
ones wanted. 
Thanks again for your past orders and hoping to receive 
your future business. 
Yours respectfully, 
A. T. EDISON.
