SPECIAL NOTICE TO SEEDLING GROWERS 
I am offering a gold medal for ball dahlia seedlings, to 
be given through the Cincinnati trial grounds. To win 
a seedling must be a certificate winner, true quilled, 
with petals curled back to the stem carrying the quilling 
back with them, at least 3¥2 inches across and an im- 
provement upon the existing varieties. For further de- 
tails write trial grounds committee. 
BALL DAHLIA SEED—As far as I know this is the 
first time that ball dahlia seeds are being of- 
fered. Some of the seed is home grown and 
some from California. Mixed seed only.
