Greetings for 1955 
We are again glad to get our catalog back in circula- 
tion after a two-year absence. Due to other business com- 
mitments we omitted our catalog, but continued grow- 
ing and selling good Dahlias. 
We have added quite a few new dahlias to our list 
and also eliminated some. The best of our older varieties 
we have still retained. 
It is hoped that most of you enjoyed our exhibit at 
the Orange County Fair and at the Orange County Dahlia 
Society this last year. Our Dahlias will be shown again this 
coming August as before. 
This year we have again started back in the production 
of Dahlia, Green Plants, as we did 5 years ago. We feel 
that you should give green plants a try as they are sturdy 
growers and less expensive than Dahlia roots. Our green 
plants are taken from the base cuttings of the Dahlia root. 
They are then rooted in sand and placed in three inch tar 
paper pots and left to grow several weeks. They are then 
ready for planting. 
Although we will not be shipping any green plants in 
lots less than 16 or more to the flat, you can secure any 
amount by coming here to our green houses. Green plants 
should be ready about the latter part of April. Also rooted 
cuttings will be available for 50% less than the root price. 
Green plants produce flowers and bushes just as roots 
do in’ the first year. 
If you have someone that is interested in Dahlias we 
would appreciate it if you would pass along this catalog 
if you are not using it.
