FALL SHOW PLANNED. 



Executive Committee of the Ameri- 

 can Dahlia Society Meets. 



At the meeting of the Executive 

 Committee of the American Dahlia So- 

 ciety, held at the International Flower 

 Show in the Grand Central Palace, 

 New York, March 19, It was decided to 

 hold the autumn show in Xew York 

 during September at one of the cen- 

 trally located hotels and to charge ex- 

 hibitors a reasonable price for floor 

 space and to also charge for admission 

 to defray the expenses. 



The plan is to give the greatest 

 Dahlia show ever held and work to 

 that end has already been started and 

 will be prosecuted vigorously and con- 

 tinuously until show time. Every dah- 

 lia grower and lover of this popular 

 flower is invited to co-operate. 



President Vincent moved that Prof. 

 George Fraser of the Connecticut State 

 Agricultural College, Storrs, Conn., be 

 tendered the thanks of the Society for 

 the excellent manner in which the trial 

 grounds were conducted last year, 

 which was carried, and Prof. Fraser 

 was made a life member of the Society. 



The trial grounds will be continued 

 and will be larger and better than ever. 

 Tubers for the trial gardens should be 

 properly labeled with the name of the 

 variety and exhibitor and sent to Prof. 

 George Fraser. 



James Duthie, Oyster Bay, N. Y., 

 moved that a new scale of points be 

 made so that good exhibition varieties 

 and varieties good for cut flowers, be 

 given an equal chance. The motion 

 was carried. 



A motion was passed protesting the 

 quarantine of the states of Illinois and 

 Michigan against dahlia tubers and 

 bulbs.

 lecturer greeted his audience as fol- 

 lows: 



"You are gathered here this after- 

 noon to be entertained, not by the 

 speaker but by the flower friends 

 which will be thrown upon the screen. 

 Perhaps you have not thought of It in 

 this light but whenever I attend such 

 a lecture as this, I always have a feel- 

 ing of renewing such friendships and 

 a sight of my old favorites in their 

 natural setting, only intensifies my de-
