PROPAGATING THE DAHLIA. 



When -we wish to secure a stock of 

 a new variety in a short time, the only 

 practical method is by cuttings, and we 

 often have occasion, also, to multiply 

 some old sort much faster than it can be 

 done by divisions. Under ordinary treat- 

 ment there are a few kinds that do not 

 give as good results from cutting, but 

 with most varieties we find no difference 

 and a small application of hen manure, 

 say a teaspoonful to a plant, or its 

 equivalent in some quick acting fertil- 

 izer, will bring up any of them with- 

 out waiting till the second year. When 

 we take into consideration the fact that 

 a dahlia seed planted June 1 can readily 

 be brought into flower in July by good 

 treatment it will not seem at all im- 

 practicable to bring tip a good speci- 

 men from even a small cutting plant the 

 first year. Wm. F. Bassett. 



Regarding the propagation of dahlias, 

 my method is to place the tubers on a 

 bench in heat of 60 degrees and cover 

 very sparingly with light earth, or moss 

 and earth mixed, so as to expose the 

 crowns. They will sprout quickly, and 

 as soon as the shoots are long enough to 

 handle they are pulled off sidewise, the 

 break trimmed with a keen knife and in- 

 serted into the sand propagating bed. 



This is much better than to cut the 

 shoots at a joint after they have grown 

 up to some length, this base being full 

 of eyes naturally. There is no danger 

 of exhausting the roots, as I have had 

 tubers in heat for three months and 

 pulled cuttings every three to six days 

 without having gotten the last one when 

 thrown out. In fact, I believe this 

 method will produce more cuttings than 

 the other. The young plants make nicer 

 tubers in pots all summer than if plant- 

 ed out in the field, as the field plants 

 grow too much to stalk.
