Greetings! 
We wish to thank our customers this past year for their fine orders, and also for the 
many interesting lelters and suggestions w thich came to us regarding our Miniatures. I’m 
afraid we’re poor correspondents, for. as our business grows, our time for answering letters 
has diminished almost to the vanishing point! However, we do hope you will Continue to 
write us. Your letters not only help us to find new varieties for listing, but they give us 
much-needed information on what our bulbs and plants will do in differ rent climates and 
soils, thus enabling us to serve you better. Not the least important, we get a great deal of 
just plain enjoyment from renewing old friendships and making new gardening friends. 
And so, may we hear from you again! 
IVAN AND IONE REED 
Sometimes people tell us that only the large dahlias make much show. This is a section of 
our dahlia patch, which proves, we think, that small-flowered dahlias also can put on 
quite a display.
