DAHLIAS 
A seedling of Mrs, Geo. Le Boutillier. Same rich 
red color, longer stems, grows especially good in 
heavy soils. The finest all-around Red Dahlia we've 
grown in our 33 years with the World’s Best 
Dahlias. We grow several thousand each year. 
Guaranteed to make good in your garden or we will. 


Dear Friends: 
We wish to express our sincere thanks for the many orders and your nice letters and cards telling us how 
pleased you were with the roots we sent you and about your wonderful gardens. I wish I could meet you all in 
your gardens or better yet in our garden. Than I could show you our Modern Storage Building. It sure keeps 
roots in wonderful condition, we sold some roots last August that we had missed when planting and they were 
still in extra good shape. The 1947 season was too hot and dry for the best blooms but the thousands of roots 
we are holding for your valued orders are our usual quality. The Best you can buy, Try and visit us this season 
Remember, there are more Dahlias grown in Wayland than any other spot in the world, worth seeing in Bloom. 
We will continue to make every effort to please you with roots you will be proud to own. 
Sincerely yours, 
JOHN J. ZANT
