GREETINGS 
DEAR DAHLIA FRIENDS: We are pleased 
to submit our 16th ANNUAL DAHLIA PRICE 
LIST for 1954. The past year has been a trying 
one for most of us, due to the nation-wide drought. 
However, we had some beautiful bloom, and har- 
vested a fair crop of roots. We are looking for- 
ward to a better season for 1954.
