LEBANON, OHIO 
Last Seasons Record 
The Spring and Summer of 1934 will be long remembered as breaking all records for heat 
and drought. In our district (Cincinnati) there were seven consecutive days with maximum 
temperatures from 103 to 108.5. Gardens, corn and other crops were destroyed by this heat. 
Nevertheless our 18 acres of dahlias came through with comparatively few losses, and after 
some good rains about August 1st, gave us one of the best blooming seasons we have had. A 
freeze on October 14th ended the season, and a good crop of roots was harvested. 
We exhibited only at the A. D. S. Show in New York and at the Ohio Valley Dahlia Associa¬ 
tion’s Show in Cincinnati. With the help of our New Haven, Conn., garden we won second 
for 50 ft. display in New York. 
At Cincinnati our Display won first in the 150ft. class sweepstakes, the A. D. S. Medal 
and the Meritorious Medal of the O. V. D. A. for one of the two most outstanding displays 
at the show.
