Welcome
To our members, friends and exhibitors - a big “dahlia” welcome
to our 70th Annual Dahlia Show Season.
Our organization has made great strides since coming to the
Bayard Cutting Arboretum where we have come to know so
many nature loving friends and members. We hope that our 70th
Annual Show will inspire newcomers to the joy of growing and
showing dahlias and become a member of our society.
A show such as ours, and our fellow conference societies, comes
together by the efforts of its dedicated members who join
together and devote their valuable time and hard work to make it
all happen. I want to sincerely thank and recognize each
individual who helped out! I’m sure we do it because we love
the end result…but in fact we simply do it because we love the
joy it gives to others.
The main prizes are awarded Saturday afternoon so that the
exhibitors from our neighboring North Atlantic States can carry
them home in remembrance of the hard work and prize winning
winning blooms they have grown.
If this is your first experience at our show, please join us for our
second show in October on the 11th & 12th. If the weather is
kind, you will see many more later blooming varieties whose
colors intensify during the early fall weather.
.P.S. – While you are here, please visit the William Wolkoff
Dahlia Display garden at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, the
largest public dahlia display garden in the Northeast with
over 1,000 dahlias

Long Island Dahlia Society
Award Donors
The Long Island Dahlia Society (LIDS) was formed by a group of
air raid wardens and dahlia fanciers in the Spring of 1944 led by Otto
Aumuller. Early meetings took place around a pot-bellied stove at
Munz’s nursery in Jamaica and were often held in the fertilizer shed.
Mr. Aumuller brought together the first show to the public where
hundreds of milk bottles were collected and gilded so that all the blooms
were resplendent in golden containers. Eventually the meetings moved
to Jamaica Hall, and during the course of the last 69 years, LIDS has
exhibited throughout much of Long Island. In recent years, the
cooperation among the dahlia societies of the North Atlantic Dahlia
Conference has led to flourishing success for dahlias. With a hard
working, well intentioned membership we can only see a bright future
for our society
LIDS is dedicated the cultivation and propagation of the Dahlia.
LIDS plants and maintains a garden of over 1000 dahlias at Bayard
Cutting Arboretum in Great River, NY. We host 2 dahlia shows each
season at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum. The first show is on Labor
Day Weekend and the second show is a few weeks later in early
October.
The LIDS holds monthly meetings in the upper level of the Carriage
House at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River on the 3rd
Thursday of every month at 7:00pm. Please contact us at the below
address or email to request a copy of our calendar. We will provide you
directions with the calendar.
Membership is $20.00 per family per year. As a new member you
will receive 3 free tubers or cuttings of show grade flowers (our choice)
at one of our spring root auctions. The root auctions are held during
April, May and June. By becoming a member, you can learn about the
culture of dahlias at our monthly meetings and the methods used by our
own seasoned growers and senior members. We invite you to
participate in our shows, displaying dahlias or just visiting and enjoying
the beauty of the flowers.

DAHLIA FORMS
General Rules
XI
Formal Decorative- Ray florets are flat, partially revolute, or partially
involute floret edges. The petals are uniform and regularly arranged,
tending to curve toward the stem.
First, second and third awards will be made in each class
(except seedlings). No award will be made in any class if
entry is unworthy. Tri-colors are awarded as noted in the
schedule. Judges should check length of the stems especially
in close or tri-color decisions.
XII
Informal Decorative- Ray florets are twisted, or curled, or wavy creating
an affect that the petals are not flat. The florets may be partially revolute
with their arrangement appearing irregular.
The best entries in the nine classes of Other Type dahlias in
both 1 and 3 bloom sections will receive Tri-Color ribbons
and awards.
XIII
The decision of the judges will be final. No appeals will be
considered except in cases where the entry is in the wrong
class. In this case the Show Committee may consider the
appeal and act as they see fit.
XIV
We shall not be held responsible for loss or damage to
exhibits or personal property, but will exercise the utmost
care to protect exhibits. Baskets and vases should be labeled
with the exhibitors name and address for proper return.
XV
The Show Committee reserves the right to make additional
rules, classes, or to change the schedule as it becomes
necessary, or to remove from the tables before or after
judging any exhibit it considers in poor condition.
XVI
All entries except exhibitor’s baskets become the property of
the Show Committee, to be disposed of at their own
discretion at the close of the show.
Dahlias are classified by form, color and size. These are the 19
classification forms recognized by the
American Dahlia Society.
Semi-Cactus- The ray florets are broad at the base, straight, incurved or
recurved and the ray florets revolute for up to one half of their length.
Straight Cactus – The ray florets revolute for more than one half of their
Length; they also may be pointed, straight, or recurved, radiating in all
directions from the center of the flower head.
Incurved Cactus- These dahlias also have ray florets that are curved for
more than one half of the length but the pointed petals have a pronounced
curvature toward the center of the flower head.
Laciniated -The split or laciniation should be in proportion to the ray floret
length. There should be an overall twisting in the area of the split involute
or revolute ray florets, to give an overall fringed effect.
Ball-Fully double flowers, ball shaped or slightly flattened at the face, and
the ray florets are blunt, rounded, or indented, involute for most of their
length, fully involute for about one half their length, and normally displayed
in a spiral arrangement.
Miniature Ball- Same form as ball dahlia, differing only in size.
Pompon-Fully double flowers similar to ball dahlias but more globular and
smaller in size; also, the ray florets involute for their whole length and fully
involute for more than half of their length.
Stellar-Fully double, breaking gradually from immature florets to fully
developed outer florets. The outer florets should be narrow and involute
with a slight recurve to the stem. The less mature florets should possess the
same narrow and partially involute characteristic. The depth of the stellar
dahlia type should be from one half to two thirds the diameter of the bloom,
the greater depth being the ideal.
XVII Judges may not participate in decisions involving their
own interests or entries. In the event a substitute judge is
required, that judge must sign the appropriate sheet.
XVIII Dahlia foliage is preferred in both baskets and vase
classes. Other foliage is permitted but should not
overpower the dahlias.
General Rules

this rule will disqualify entry.

appears to be flat or saucer shaped. The ray florets are openly faced giving
the bloom a delicate appearance. The center is closed and dome shaped
breaking gradually to four to seven rows of fully developed outer ray florets
which are also broad and slightly cupped.
Peony-An open centered dahlia with two or more rows of ray florets
surrounding the disc flowers (small tubular florets which make up the
central part of the flower. Each has a pistil and stamens but generally no
other conspicuous flower parts). Ray florets adjacent to the disc flowers
may be smaller, twisted, and/or curled.
Anemone-Dahlias with one or more rows of ray florets surrounding a
center of elongated tubular disc florets. These disc florets should be fully
developed and present a domed, pincushion appearance.

base
