JUST A FEW OF OUR MANY TESTIMONIALS 
Brooklyn 13, N. Y. 
Dear Mr. Parrella: : 
Enclosed please find check, in amount $29.50 for the 2 orders, and the extra Root of Dahliamum. 
$1.50 Root; Order Nos. 7906 and 7938. 
I thank you for the fine way you attended to my orders, and I wish you a very successful 
season with your Dahlias. If it is possible, I’ll try to make a visit to the September Exhibition 
if I will feel stronger. With all good wishes for your good health, 
Gratefully yours,

I want to thank you so much for finding the ‘Lord of Autumn” and sending it to me. It 
is one of my favorite dahlias and I appreciate it very much but I wish that you would send 
me a bill for the expense and trouble. 
I am highly pleased with all the bulbs that I have ordered from your company and find they 
are far superior than any other bulbs that I have tried. The Ogden Reid that I ordered from 
you last year grew several blossoms that were over 14 inches across. Many of my friends could 
not believe it and had to come and see for themselves. Quite a few indicated they were going te 
order from you and I am sure they will be pleased. 
Thanking you again for your kindness and courtesy, I remain, 
sincerely, 
Mrs. S. M. K.

Dear Sir: 
Not having seen that extra dahlia root listed in your catalog I thought you might be 
interested in hearing about it. I refer to the variety named Martha Blohn. 
To begin with I decided to grow it naturally. There was no feeding, pruning, etc., and a 
minimum of disbudding. Hence it was the same as field grown. Plant growth was steady and 
the usual period of slow growth was absent. In early July it was 4% ft. tall and the first 
bloom was July 20. It is a bushy plant but an attractive one with well spaced lateral growth 
Insects seemed to ignore it. 
First bloom was an unusually beautiful violet rose ID and ten by five. 
Sincerely, 
Ay EK. CGC.

Gentlemen: 
I was so pleased with the dahlias I ordered from you last year that I can hardly wait to 
get your new 1950 catalog. The plants of Ann Tooker and Ogden Reid did wonderful.
