BECOBD DAHLIA SHOW STAGED. 



Filled Exhibition Hall. 



The annual exhibition of the Ameri- 

 can Dahlia Society was held, in con- 

 junction with the dahlia show of the 

 American Institute, in the Engineering 

 "building, 25 West Thirty-ninth street. 

 New York, September 23 to 25. It was 

 the largest and most complete exhibi- 

 tion ever held by the society and 

 marked a great advance in the produc- 

 tion of the dahlia, some remarkable 

 seedlings being on view, some of them 

 showing changes in types which must 

 call for amendments in classification in 

 the near future. The hall was com- 

 pletely filled. The general arrange- 

 ment of the exhibition, under the super- 

 vision of Manager W. C. Eickards, Jr., 

 was beyond criticism. The display of 

 Max Schling, New York, drew much at- 

 tention. It comprised baskets and wall 

 pieces of dahlias and a handsome 

 bride's bouquet, showered, made of the 

 white dahlia, Hortulanus Witte. Wm. 

 H. Duckham, of the Duckham-Pierson 

 Co., Madison, N. J., exhibited fine vases 

 of Premier, Ophelia, Hadlev, Columbia 

 and Mrs. Chas. Russell. 'The C. H. 

 Totty Co., Madison, N. J., showed the 

 new roses, F. W. Dunlop and Mme. But- 

 terfly, and several vases of hardy as- 

 ters. 



John Lewis Childs, Flowerfield, N. Y., 

 staged a display of gladioli, as also did 

 Mills & Co., Mamaroneck, N. Y.
