The Colorado Dahlia Society Proudly Presents:

The Colorado Dahlia Society Proudly Presents: In Loving Memory Marvin Thomas Jordan January 1, 1929 November 14, 2016 Ed Cranson December 12, 1956 March 21, 2017 Creator of the HERITAGE AWARD/PLAQUE Honoring Dahlias Introduced BEFORE 1970 Named the Bernard Johansen Trophy

Introduction We are proud and delighted to display just some of the thousands of different named varieties of our favorite flower, the dahlia. This magnificent flower, the dahlia, has come a long way since it was grown for food by the Indians in Mexico and Central America, exported to Spain by botanists in 1571, and then developed and hybridized by the French, English, Dutch and Germans after the Civil War. The dahlia has reentered America in the fullness of its glory and bestows spectacular beauty and variety upon our parks and gardens. Our thanks to all who have helped present our shows: Colorado Dahlia Society, dahlia exhibitors and the show committees. Our thanks also to all who come to view the shows! George Vest President 1
