JOIN THE 
AMERICAN DAHLIA SOCIETY 
W e invite our friends and customers to join the American Dahlia Society and become a part of this great 
National organization whose interest is devoted solely to the improvement of the Dahlia. 
The Quarterly Bulletin—a real Dahlia Magazine—gives all the up to date Dahlia news, information about, and 
illustrations of new varieties, the latest cultural hints and is a real worth while guide to any lover of Dahlias. The 
Bulletin alone is worth many times the cost of the annual dues. 
Trial Gardens are maintained at Connecticut College, Storrs, Connecticut, and The Michigan Agricultural College, 
East Lansing, Michigan, where new varieties are tested and scored each year. A test garden is also maintained 
at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, for research work on insect and disease control. Full reports from 
all these gardens are published from time to time. 
Dahlia “fans” in every state of the Union and many foreign countries are members and frequently contribute 
news to the Bulletin. Membership includes admission, and the privilege of exhibiting at all our National exhibi¬ 
tions which are held each September in some National center. 
Dues $2.00 per year 
Payable in advance 
JOIN NOW—and we know 
you will not regret doing so
