We were fortunate this Fall in winning the Grand Sweep- 
stakes in Class A Professional which received the Meier & 
Frank Trophy; for Best General Exhibit, winning the A. D. S. 
Medal. Also the P. D. S. Medal for best basket of Miniatures, 
and the Blue Ribbon for Smallest Dahlia in Show. In addi¬ 
tion “Charles L. Mastick” brought us several awards for the 
various baskets and vases and bowls of that variety we dis¬ 
played in our exhibit. That variety won as the best Amateur 
basket. 
Among the outstanding dahlias of the show were many 
novelties from abroad as well as numerous American varieties. 
To name a few of them: Nagel’s Superb, Ballego’s Surprise, 
M. Henri Festner, Pink Spiral, Phantom, Marie Dressier, 
Andries Perfecta, California Idol, Schiller, Victoria, Pink 
Daily Mail, Margrace, Black Knight, Petunia, Mrs. Geo. le 
Boutillier, Eagle Rock Phantasy, and many others. Several 
Japanese ones attracted attention — Yukinasa, Shintenchi, 
Shown—all three being very unusual in form. 
We had many promising seed pods on our plants when the 
heavy freeze came unexpectedly and froze all of them, so we 
have no seeds to offer our customers the coming season.
