_ GREETINGS FOR 1952 
a aaa) 
I cannot do the big things 
That win the world’s acclaim, 
So I don’t know how I would feel 
To have cheers greet my name. 
But I can take a few brown bulibs 
And place them ’neath the sod, 
And on some April mornng 
Feel a little bit like God. 
A! He SPost: 
Another flower season is drawing near with -the 
opportunity to extend Greetings to my friends and cus- 
tomers “old and new.” 
One of the most difficult things in the world to do is to 
express one’s feelings in mere words but I would like to 
convey my sincere thanks and apprecation to you. Your 
friendship and loyalty mean so much to me. I enjoy the 
personal contact with so many of you each fall when you 
visit my flower garden. Thanks again and all good 
wishes. 
Although we had to dig the dahlias out of ankle deep 
mud, I never had finer roots and lots of them—but order 
early—I never seem to have enough of some kinds. Tell 
me when you want your roots and bulbs and I will try 
to send at that time. 
Parcel Post rates are higher again so I am forced to 
add a little to the price of my COLLECTIONS to help pay 
postage but you will find my prices lower on many 
varieties of dahlias. 
All bulbs and plants are state inspected—guaranteed 
true to name, and to reach you in good growing condi- 
tion. If not satisfied, let me know at once, and I will 
make adjustment. 
All orders amounting to $1.25 or more are sent post- 
paid—if less than $1.25 please add 10c for postage. 
Stamps accepted for orders of less than $1.00. 
READ BEFORE ORDERING 
If you live west of the Rockies and order 
dahlias—please add 50c to your order to help. 
pay for “special inspection”? which is required 
under the new plant laws.
