BIG DAHLIA EXHIBIT PLANNED. 

 The American Dahlia Society has 

 engaged the entire conservatory and 

 roof garden of the Hotel Pennsylvania, 

 opposite the Pennsylvania Station. 

 32nd-33rd streets and Eighth avenue. 

 New York, for September 27, 28, and 

 29, for the Annual Exhibition o£ the 

 Society. The exhibition will open on 

 the evening of September 27 and close 

 on the evening of the 29th. 



The roof garden is used during the 



summer as a restaurant. It has good 

 daylight on all four sides and the 

 entrance is through the conservatory 

 on the roof. The space is very large, 

 something like 12,000 square feet in a 

 long hall giving wonderful decorative 

 opportunities. 



A determined effort will be made to 

 make this the largest exhibition ever 

 given of any single flower. Plans will be 

 rapidly perfected and developments will 

 be stated later. Edw.vjjd C. Vick, Sec.
