GUIDE 
The Guide is devoted to education on the Dahlia and it 
is hoped that with it more people will have even greater 
success. 
No Dahlia Business can possibly succeed unless its cus- | 
tomers are successful and I sincerely feel that the infor- 
mation therein will aid any one that will take the time to ) 
read it. : 
‘This pocket-guide therefore goes forth for practical use 
with as little reading as possible, stressing the graphic idea. |
