SPECIAL NOTICE 
Never before, in the history of the American Dahlia 
Society, was the National Dahlia Show held WEST of 
New York City. 
But it has been officially decided to hold this great show, 
early in September of 1936, in the City of DETROIT. 
Now let EVERY one of us make this the GREATEST 
DAHLIA SHOW, ever held, both in display and attend¬ 
ance. 
The only real Dahlia Magazine is the one published by 
Mr. D. O. Eldredge, 170 Talmadge St., Madison, Wisconsin. 
I think you will agree with me, that it is worth twice what 
you pay for it. Send $1.00 for a year’s subscription. 
Prince of Persia (I.D.) "Newson” 1932—Bloom 11x5, Bush 
5 Zi ft. A very striking bright red exhibition dahlia of the 
most irridescent rich-glowing crimson. The petals are of great 
depth and substance, makng an unusually deep, attractive 
flower. Bush is vigorous, robust and very tall. This dahlia 
attracted more visitors’ attention than any other in my garden 
in 1933. (H. R.)_._Roots .50 
President F. D. Roosevelt (I.D.) "Shattuck”—A massive new 
dahlia which we would describe as orange scarlet with lighter 
reverse. Heavy insect-resisting foliage, wonderfully strong 
stems. Good root maker and a husky grower. Reminds one 
of the old variety Jersey’s Beacon, though in our opinion much 
superior _ _ Plants .50

Bush 5 ft. Winner of a Certificate of Merit at Storrs and on

A WORD ABOUT THE BIRD’S HOME 
If you are a lover of the wild birds, which nearly every 
gardener is, you certainly should see the most unique and 
attractive bird houses that Mr. C. J. Myers, of 77 Arthur 
Street, Battle Creek, Michigan, is building. 
I have in my dahlia gardens, a handsome martin house, 
which is an exact replica of a modern bungalow. Everyone 
asks me "where did you ever get it.” Write him for pictures 
and information. 
By the way, Mr. Myers, is the secretary of our Dahlia 
Club.
