DAHLIAS SI 



tion. King Edward, Roem van Nijkerk; yel-

Dahlia shows are becoming more and more 

 popular year after year, which offers to the 

 amateur an additional incentive in the pursuit 

 of this delightful specialty. The second and 

 third weeks in September usually find our 

 Dahlias at their best, and it is during these 

 weeks that local Dahha shows are usually given 

 in consequence. The plan of local flower- 

 shows in vOlage communities has not yet re- 

 ceived the encouragement it should, but in a 

 village where three or four enthusiasts pursue 

 the culture of Dahlias, it would be compara- 

 tively easy and an interesting thing for these 

 amateurs to arrange for a little local exhibit.
