Dahlia Show Garden 
VISITORS WELCOME 
Our show gardens are located on corner of Walker Ave. and 
3 mile road, two and one-quarter miles north of West Leon- 
ard St. city limits. Call and get acquainted. It pays. 
Our gardens and field plantings are at their best usually 
from September 15th on, as most of the late plantings are 
in bloom then. Many varieties bloom early in August even 
if we do not finish planting until July Ist. 
GREETINGS FOR 1950 
Our greetings for 1950 to our many customers is another 
reduction in prices on varieties that produced well and I 
expect to have enough roots to fill all orders. The weather 
was hot and dry the last part of July and all of August but 
just right at planting time, they had such a good start it 
never bothered them. With the help of the September rains 
I had a large crop of good roots. As always I grow a good 
many before listing — this year I grew 170 varieties not 
listed. Some I do not like and will never list as they are not 
good growers. 
Thanks for the many nice letters received telling of the 
wonderful success with my roots. Waiting to be of service 
to you in 1950 with Michigan Grown Roots, we are, 
Yours Respectfully,
