TRIAL GROUNDS 
The Trial Grounds are all doing a magnificent work. 
Even the unofficial trial grounds are furnishing im- 
portant data aiding in selection of varieties for par- 
ticular localities. 
Dahlias which have received certificates at the offi- 
cial Trial Grounds at Storrs, Conn.; East Lansing, 
Mich.; Ohio Valley Dahlia Association at Cincinnati, 
and West Virginia at Fairmont are marked in our 
catalog “Certified at Storrs, E. Lansing, O.V.D.A. or 
W. Va.’ An “Award of Honor, Ga.” refers to the 
Dahlia Society of Georgia Trial Grounds. ‘‘Certified 
at Maryland” indicates being certified at Maryland 
Trial Grounds at College Park, Maryland. 
Seedlings may be sent to any of these Trial Grounds 
where they will be carefully grown, tested and scored. 
Fee for each variety is $3.00 and three roots or plants 
of each variety must be sent. No entry fee is required 
by the Georgia Dahlia Society, and only $2.00 is 
charged at Maryland. Write for entry blanks and 
instructions from the Trial Grounds you may wish 
to enter. List and addresses of official Trial Grounds 
will be sent on request.
