FANCY DAHLIAS. 



These have of late been so much improved, both in form and colour, 

 that we imagine few flower-gardens will in future be without them, 

 for they promise to become even greater favourites than the usually 

 cultivated kinds. We therefore venture to give a list of twenty-four 

 of the best and most constant varieties, described from notes taken 

 of the plants during the last blooming season, and such as can be 

 procured at very reasonable prices. 



Baron Freteau de Peny, pale scarlet, tipped with white; flower full, and well 

 shaped, quills about the centre. 4 ft. 



Dukince (Morot), violet lilac, with white down the centre of each petal; good 

 shape and habit, medium size. 4 ft. 



Emilie Lehmann (Deegen), bright rosy red, white tipped; good shape. 2 to 3 ft. 



Empereur de Maroc (Huidoux), dark maroon, tipped with clear white. A 

 noble variety, either for the borders or exhibition. Some plants do not pro- 

 duce tipped blooms so constantly as others. Should be grown in rather poor
