JOIN THE AMERICAN DAHLIA 
SOCIETY 
An invitation is extended to all those interested in 
dahlias to join the American Dahlia Society and become 
a part of this great National organization whose activ- 
ities are devoted to the improvement and development 
of the Dahlia. 
Should you belong to your local Dahlia Society it 
is possible for you to get your society to become a 
branch of the A. D. S., and in this way get the Bulletin 
at a reduced rate. Send to Secretary for information. 
The articles alone in the A. D. S. Bulletins are worth 
much more than the dues, as you will learn news 
about the Dahlia from all parts of the country from 
the different contributors. A new feature is a report 
on the A. D. S. Seedling Sweepstakes Winners by 
lynn B. Dudley. 
Membership includes admission and the privilege of 
exhibiting in the National Show held each September 
in New York City. The N. Y. Show will be held at 
Essex House, September 16th and 17th, 1952. 
There are 4 Official Trial Grounds in different parts 
of the country where new varieties are tested and 
scored each year. Full reports from the Shows and the 
Trial Grounds are published in the Bulletin yearly.
