North shore garderis maintain their reputation for finest dahlias, despite the drougth and extrernely bot weaih- er of two weeks ago. This was evidenced bythe splendid showing of these stately blossoms at the flfth annual. dahlia show held at Community bouse, Winnetka, Satur- day and Sunday, by the American Gardeners'. association. While the number of exhibitors was somewhat less Ithan in previous years, due entirely to the drouth, the show was-much larger -and the quai- ity of the* flowers was fat better than .It any .of the simfilar exhibitions ýin the Chicago area this season. This fact was, frequently corn- mented upon by mnany visitors, fo.1- lowing their inspection of other dis- plays.
