Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I am writing this letter for two reasons, the first is to tell you how well the plants I purchased 
from you performed, especially Kimitage and the too beautiful ‘‘Caroline Kernochan.” 
I would also like to know if you could possibly tell me where I could obtain seeds of a 
variety that I am particularly fond of, St. Therese. I have always admired your dahlias. 
Yours truly,

Dear Sir: 
September rains turned what looked ijiike one of the worst seasons into one of the best. I 
managed to keep all my plants in good condition throughout the drought and when the rains 
came the results were excellent. I brought an eleven inch Ogden Reid and a twelve inch Lynn 
Fontanne into the bank where I work and caused quite a stir.

Dear Sir: 
In spite of the fact that you were out of the Dahlia seeds, Freckles, ete. — seeds or no sees, 
I do not feel that you owe me any refund after the wonderful shipment I received on May 12¢h. 
(I planted them the same day, and each one is up and doing fine.) Please find enclosed $15.00 
for which I would like . 
Very truly yours,

Gentlemen: 
Having had good Decor. Type Dahlia seed from you in the past I’m writing to ask if you 
can supply (1) Colarette and/or Orchid Flowering type seeds. 
I had several ouistanding seedlings of both types but lost the roots by being away too long 
last winter. 
Thanking you for your prompt attention.

Dear Mr. Parrella: 
Tnis will interest you. 
I entered my first Dahlia show against stiff opposition, on a one hour’s notice! I rushed 
around among neighbors, collecting vases. One hour later I took my dahlias to the Inglewood 
Dahlia Show and entered four single blooms in the Amateur Division, and with my “Greater 
Glory’ I drew a SPECIAL AWARD ribbon, — higher in points than Ist prize!! This award 
was gained through TRUENESS of bloom. Needless to say, I bought the tuber from you this year.
