We recommend that you join your state society 
as well as the American Dahlia Society. The cost of 
membership in the American Dahlia Society is but 
$2.00 per year and should be sent to C. Louis Ailing, 
251 Court street, West Haven, Conn. For this invest¬ 
ment you will receive the bulletin of the society which 
is published quarterly—a real masterpiece and chock 
full of information, giving many helpful hints by well 
known growers, both amateur and commercial. The 
open forum will solve many of your dahlia problems. 
You will have $2.00’s worth of show privileges at the 
National Dahlia Show. No real dahlia enthusiast 
could well afford not to belong to the American Dahlia 
Society. 
Aside from the A. D. S. Bulletin and the several 
state society bulletins one must subscribe to the Mid 
West Dahlia News in order to be at all up-to-the- 
minute in the happenings of the dahlia world. This 
publication is devoted exclusively to the Dahlia and 
is edited by D. O. Eldredge of 170 Talmage street, 
Madison, Wisconsin. The bulletin is now publishing 
quarterly about 60 pages of top notch dahlia news 
and costs but $1.00 a year. The biggest dollar’s worth 
in the dahlia game today. 
The Flower Grower, published by the J. B. Lyon 
Company, 99-129 N. Broadway, Albany N. Y. is devoted 
exclusively to flowers and gives more space to the 
dahlia than any other publication aside from the Mid 
West Dahlia News. It is in this publication that 
Derrill W. Hart’s Honor Roll was published last Dec¬ 
ember. A very good publication well worth $2.00 per 
year—published monthly.
