Excerpt from Dahlias With respect to the popularity of the Dahlia, attention may with advantage be directed to the fact that there has always been a remarkable steadiness about the fame of this flower. Its cultivators are, it may be assumed, enthusiastic, but their enthusiasm is of a quiet kind, and not, as in the case of that of some other flowers, bubbling over and giving rise to the feeling that it will soon exhaust itself. In taking a retrospective glance over the hundred and odd years that have elapsed since the Dahlia was introduced from its Mexican home to this country, it becomes evident that, quiet though it may have been, enthusiasm as well as strenuous endeavour must have been forthcoming at an early period in the history of the Dahlia as a cultivated flower. The creation of the varied and beautiful types that are now to be seen in gardens could not well have been efiected with out something more than the carrying out, in a more or less mechanical manner, of the technical details essential to success. That something must have been enthusiasm, for without it there could not have been that constancy of pur pose, extending over a comparatively long period, which is an example to all who are engaged in plant improvement.

Excerpt from Dahlias, 1928 As for my own Dahlias - and they are the ones I am principally concerned in selling, you know - after going about to the big Fall shows in the East, where I go both to judge and to make newer selections, I return home with the feeling of satisfaction that I grow Dahlias as well as most of those I have seen on exhibition. From my customers scattered throughout the land, I get most enthusiastic reports of their successes, not only in the gardens but also at their competitive Shows. And now I must tell you a joke which does not bring discredit upon my Dahlias. The present President of the Dahlia Society of California gave a Dahlia talk at our State University, last Sum mer. He used a lot of my blooms to illustrate his talk. In a burst of confi dence he said to me: To tell you frankly, Doctor, I saw no better Dahlias than yours out at our Dahlia Show in California, this year. Then, that naive spirit so noticeable amongst the people of Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Texas, and California flamed forth with this: But, this year (1927) was not a very good season in California!
