STATION ANNOUNCEMENT 
(Please Read Carefully) 
Our first planting in this new location produced results 
far beyond our expectations, both in quality of bloom 
and roots harvested. Many of the newer varieties were 
all that was claimed for them while others did not come 
up to our standard of DESIRABLE DAHLIAS. Advance 
orders in the field depleted several varieties which will 
not be listed. 
Visitors are always welcome. We are located on the 
Gig Harbor Highway three miles south of Port Orchard 
and seven miles from the Harper Ferry Dock. In coming 
from Seattle (The City of Flowers) take the Ferry at 
Pauntleroy> and-get off PatwHarper., Drive to the Giz 
Harbor highway, turn left and drive two miles where 
you will see a field of Dahlias any time after the 10th 
of August.
