BEST COMMERCIAL DISPLAY 
At the 1938 show of The Dahlia Society of Ohio, held at Hotel 
Statler, Cleveland, the commercial display of the ROCKY RIVER 
DAHLIA GARDENS, was awarded the society's silver cup for the 
best display, in the class for spaces 100 sq. ft. or over. This is the 
second time in the eight year history of the show that this supreme 
award has been won by our firm. As in the past, the judging was 
based on quality of blooms, diversity of types, and arrangement. 
All blooms in our prize winning display were grown in our own 
gardens in accordance with the rules governing all competitive 
exhibits. Staging of the blooms, arrangements, etc., were all done 
by Mr. and Mrs. Wind with the help of one of our regular 
employees.
