Our display won first prize at the Great Midwest Dahlia Show held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, 
September 14 and 15, 1934. This was the most outstanding Dahlia Show in 1934. 
The picture does not do the dahlias justice as the display was twenty-five feet long and twelve 
feet deep, the flowers being from eight inches to 13 inches in diameter.

A large flower grower from Chicago, who made a tour of Michigan Dahlia Gardens for the pur¬ 
pose of buying the newer varieties of dahlias, selected our garden to place his order with. He gave 
the matter a lot of consideration as the order amounted to over $200.00. This was one of many who 
placed their confidence in Curtis Dahlias.
