Green, black and blue dahlias as yet don’t exist. Any other color? Sure, 
you'll find it in my list.

Dear Mr. Parrella: 
Again the time has come to think about the dahlias of 1952 and again I am going to try my 
luck with the Seed of yours with which I had the best luck ever.

Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I see my little roots from last year are sprouting. They were so beautiful. I had 17 all different 
colors from the 50 seeds last year. 
Hoping I am not too late for the seeds. 
I think I am amongst the seed testimonials in your catalogue of 1952. Enough could not be 
said. 
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I give away bushels of Dahlia blooms every year to shut-ins or the sick (and for friends’ 
parties). OGDEN ‘REID and VICTORY were two of my favorite pinks for this purpose, but I 
have lest both of them thru rot. 
This year I am ordering SALLY KLEIN to use for a eut flower pink. But, if you think 
Ogden Reid is better for my purpose, please make the substitution. I do not care to grow the 
biggest Dahlias, but try to chocse them for beauty as well, so please send me the one you think 
would best suit my purpose. 
With best wishes for continuous success in your work, I am 
Very sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I am sending along my 1952 Dahlia order and enclose my check. Please reserve these roots 
for May delivery. 
Two or three years ago I ordered the little miniature Ann Z from you. Last fall at the 
Moline, Illinois, Dahlia Show I won first prize on an entry of this variety and later was judged 
the prettiest miniature. Our Dahlias were all frozen due to a very early freeze-up, so I must 
have Ann Z again. 
Thanks very much for the extra catalog. I will pass it along to some member of the Badger 
State Dahlia Society at our meeting tomorrow. 
Very truly yours, 
Gio Cs WG 
all had nice eyes. Also for the extra of Herackles 
Thank you for sending the fine roots 
which I am very glad to have.
