AMEBIOAN DAHUA SOCIETY. 



Oommittees Meet. 



A meeting of the executive commit- 

 tee of the American Dahlia Society, in 

 conjunction with the nomenclature com- 

 mittee, was held at the Grand hotel, 

 New York, May 12. 



A report from the treasurer was pre- 

 sented, showing the finances of the so- 

 ciety to be in good shape. A memorial 

 resolution in recognition of the work 

 and activities in the dahlia world of 

 the late J. H, Slocombe, of New Haven, 

 Conn., was adopted. 



The members of the two committees, 

 with all the officers of the society, were 

 constituted a board of judges to inspect 

 and judge the new varieties of dahlias 

 planted this year in the society's trial 

 garden, conducted by the Connecticut 

 Agricultural College, at Storrs, Conn. 

 It was decided that the day to be se- 

 lected for the official inspection should 

 be a "Society day," when all mem- 

 bers and friends of the society would be 

 welcomed at the garden. 



Fall Show Schedule. 



A preliminary schedule of classes for 

 the fall show, to be held under the 

 auspices of the American Institute, in 

 the Engineering building, 25 to 33 West 

 Thirty-ninth street. New York, Septem- 

 ber 23 to 25, was prepared and adopted. 

 It was decided that in all classes call- 

 ing for decorative arrangements, the use 

 of other flowers, grasses or foliage will 

 be allowed, to bring out the colors of 

 the dahlias, but dahlias must predomi- 

 nate. 



The matter. of registration with the 

 society of names of new dahlias was dis- 

 cussed at considerable length. It had 

 been reported that duplication of names 

 was becoming so general as to cause 

 regrettable confusion in catalogue de- 

 scriptions. For instance, three varieties 

 had been given the name of General 

 Pershing, each different in color and 

 classification. It was decided to inau- 

 gurate a department of registration, 

 which, it is hoped, will at least mini- 

 mize this evil. 



New Naming System. 



Raisers of dahlias are requested, at 

 naming time, to send to the secretary 

 a description of the dahlia to be named, 

 with the proposed name and an applica- 

 tion for registration. The application 

 will be advertised and, if no objection 

 be received within a specified period, 

 the name selected will be registered. 

 All dahlias presented for registration 

 must be distinct varieties, mere varietal 

 differences not being considered. The
