son, Brockton; W. P. Lothrop, East 

 Bridgewater, and Mrs. H. A. Jahn, New 

 Bedford. The executive committee will 

 select a date for a further meeting to be 

 held soon. It is not intended to make 

 the society a strictly commercial one, 

 but it is hoped to interest many of the 

 ever-increasing army of amateur culti- 

 vators. There is ample scope for such 

 a society. The increase in the culture of 

 this flower in Massachusetts of late 

 years is remarkable, and as dahlias are 

 everybody's flower, and are widely grown 

 in America, succeeding with a minimum 

 of care, we look for a strong and active 

 dahlia society.
