MIDWEST DAHLIA SHOW 
The Dahlia Society of Wisconsin will be host to this great show in Milwaukee on 
Sept. |0th and I|th. We believe that there are more dahlias grown under cloth in 
that area than in any other place in the country. Not only is that a guarantee of good 
blooms but these cloth houses for dahlias offer an interesting experience for those not 
familiar with them. The Midwest Show attracts more dahlia fanciers from afar than 
any show in the country and it is our hope we will see you there.
