Foreword 
QUALITY:—lIt is the aim of Pennypack Gardens to introduce dahlias that will 
grow for you so as to brighten your garden or produce show winners. While 
much emphasis is placed on creative work of developing superior strains of new 
dahlias, most responsibility is given to the maintaining of sound disease free 
foundation stock. 
REPUTATION:—Show Record—Pennypack’s new dahlia, namely “Firegleam’’, 
was highly honored in 1950. Both ‘Paoli Local’ and “Whitehall” won the 
highest honors as “Best of Show”. Many blue ribbons were also won in open 
competition. 
PRICE:—All Pennypack dahlias are priced right. Had the 1951 introduction 
won every prize offered in all our shows—they would still carry a $10.00 price 
tag. Policy—high quality, low price. 
RESULTS:—You can expect. Winnings for 1950 are surely impressive, but the 
final success is your satisfaction. A program involving testing both in the field 
and exhibition gardens has been carefully conducted. Any dahlia failing to grow 
properly under ordinary field conditions, does not bear the Pennypack label.
