The eighth annual exhibition of the American Dahlia Society opened in the spacious roof gardens of the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York, Tuesday, Sep- tember 26, and continued until 10:30 p. m. the following Friday. It was the largest exhibition yet staged by the so- ciety, and, it was said by those who have seen the former shows, the largest ever staged.

Looking from one end of either hall to the other, the twenty-five years of dahlia development were laid out to view.
