season.

as easy to grow as potatoes. 
To rapidly increase the constantly growing list of 
members of the American Dahlia Society, a strong 
root of each of three grand Dahlias is offered to new 
members. The regular price is one dollar each, 
three dollars for the three roots. 
Membership in the American Dahlia Society 
includes: 
1. The Quarterly Bulletin, giving Dahlia culture 
and Dahlia notes and news of the world. Some say 
a single issue is worth a year’s dues. 
2. A season ticket to the Society’s great Dahlia 
Show. 
The annual dues are two dollars, with nothing 
more whatever to pay. If you wish three Dahlias 
described above, remit the amount of the annual 
dues, two dollars, and fifty cents extra to pay the 
expense, and the three dollar Dahlias will be de- 
livered anywhere in the United States postpaid, and 
your name will be enrolled as a member with all 
dues fully paid for one year. 
Say whether collection No. 1 or No. 2 is wanted.
