T his Regional Society embraces five states. The Annual Show is held in Cincinnati. In 
1935 the show was placed in the Hotel Netherland Plaza in three air-conditioned 
halls. The effect of this atmosphere was to more than double the life of the flowers. 
Probably there was never a Dahlia Show before at which the blooms, at the end of 
the show, were in practically as good condition as at the beginning. It was the best 
Dahlia Show the writer has yet witnessed. 
Next September 26 and 27 the Midwest Dahlia Show will be held at the Nether¬ 
land Plaza. Four big halls will be available, all air-conditioned. No other flower than 
the Dahlia will be shown. Exhibits will be brought or sent from probably as many as 
twelve or more states. We venture to forecast that this show will be the biggest the 
country has ever known. 
For Membership in this organization send $1.50 to us. This will include subscrip¬ 
tion to the Mid West Dahlia News and Mr. Eldredge's outstanding Annual Dahlia 
Travelogue.

Ailing, 251 Court Street, West Haven, Connecticut.
