Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I thought you would be interested in a letter which I received from Mr. Holmes in Columbia, 
Connecticut. ‘Tuesday, May 17th, I received the Dahlias in perfect condition—not even a leaf 
broken. They were the best packed plants I ever saw.” 
Sincerely,

Gentlemen : 
Please send me your latest Dahlia catalogue and price list. F. L. Carmichael of Denver, Colo., 
has had excellent success with your tubers. I want to duplicate in Salt Lake if possible. 
Very truly yours,

Dear Sir: 
You ask me to let you know how the Dahlia plants reached me, they came just as fresh as 
if they had just come out of the ground, in fine shape, better than some plants I got here in Ohio.

Dear Mr. Parrella: 
Knowing how parents like to have good reports of their children, thought I would tell you 
how Sally Klein grew for us this past season. Plants and blooms were perfect—showed 1 bloom 
at Kingston, Pa., winning First and Special.

Dear Sir: 
You were right about Anne Tooker. Due to the latest frost we probably ever had, it bloomed 
about October 15. Instead of growing tall it grew bushy and to four laterals, without being 
pinched. I put a little Vigoro in the hole at time of planting and spread a little more around 
the plant in early August and that’s all the feeding I gave it. In other words I don’t force my 
plants. Actually the bloom was 11 by 7 but it was so deep and full and such a true giant dahlia 
that only one word describes it for size and that’s enormous. In short it was the most enormous 
and magnificent dahlia I have yet grown and probably seen. I have had many top-notch dahlias 
but this one just sort of gets up and walks away from the others.

Thank you for letting me have those Dahlia seeds. I had perfectly wonderful Dahlias unlike 
any I have ever seen.
