August, September, and early October. We are at home every 
Sunday between eleven in the morning and seven-thirty o'clock 
in the afternoon. Other days we will be happy to make an 
appointment if you will send us a card.

east shore of Lake Washington, drive about two miles east

OUR FRAGRANT DAHLIAS 
We had a run on our fragrant dahlia, BESSIE BLAKE, due io 
publicity in a national magazine, The Flower Grower. As a re- 
sult, we shall have to withdraw it from our list for a year or 
so, until we can build up the stock. JEAN’S BABY, a new dahlia 
which we hope to bring out in 1949, is also delightfully fra- 
grant, especially in the sun. We expect also, to include Ballego 
and Zonen’s fragrant dahlia, Nagel’s Welriekened in our col- 
lection to be offered either in 1949 or 1950. Watch for these. 
They are worth waiting for.
