A PROMISE-To old customers and coming ones.To you, my old customers, I hasten to speak my first word on this first page; a word of sincere appreciation out of the depths of an appreciative heart.You have made possible this list of rare and beautiful things by your liberal enc9uragement and patronage.A few years has seen my gardens grow from a few dozen vaiieties, (good but not rare) sold locally, to hundreds of varieties, sold from coast to coast, and embracing some oi the most wonderful existart varieties of the dahlias' myriad children.And to you all-new customers, and old-I promise if possible to so use any further means and opportunity that you and I-and all the swiftly increasing host of flower- lovers shall enjoy, not more flowers only, but finer ones than ever before.
