The Silver Medal of the American Dahlia Society was 
awarded to the Missouri Dahlia Farm, St. Charles and Wal- 
ton Roads, St. Louis County, for the most meritorious exhibit 
in the commercial section. 
That dahlias can be grown successfully in this part of the 
country was clearly demonstrated in this show, and some of 
the finest blooms were produced in the city. Of course, an 
adverse season may come, but the average year should always 
produce a good crop of flowers. 
The following dahlia firms generously sent tubers to the 
Garden to help stimulate interest in the dahlia. These were 
planted in the nursery last summer and all which developed 
satisfactory blooms were exhibited :
