NATIONAL DAHLIA SOCIETY. 



The National Dahlia Society will 

 hold its national convention in Seattle, 

 Wash., Sept. 18 and 19. The headquar- 

 ters of this organization are in Seattle 

 and according to the Sun it is doing 

 pioneer work in its field. The main 

 feature of the convention will be an 

 exhibition for which .30 trophies have 

 been offered. There are to be 342 

 classes in the competition, and prepa- 

 rations are being made for at least 

 5000 entries. 



"We are assured of an attendance 

 from outside the city," said R. M. But- 

 tle of Seattle, president of the society, 

 "of 5000 or 6000 people at least. Our 

 member societies are all up and down 

 the Pacific coast and extend as far 

 east as Denver and north into British 

 Columbia, and we expect to cover the 

 United States before long. 



"So far. everybody has named his 

 dahlias according to his own ideas, 

 and the confusion is endless. The task 

 of the National Dahlia Society will be 

 to straighten it out."
