 excellent. Groit'ers tcill find its habit, color, etc., 

 something that has been greatly needed. It was

 tloivers on the strong stems well above the foli- 

 age; a splendid keeping lariety." Prof. Geo. W. 

 Praser, Connecticut .Igricultural College.

 The box of blooms of Dahlia Patrick O'Mara came safcl.v. 

 -\lthoush the box seems to have been in the hands of the e.xpress 

 company for something like fifty-six hours, the flowers were in 

 remarkably good condition. The firm texture seems to give 

 this novelty, shipping qualities quite exceptional in the Oahlia. 

 The blooms have attracted much favorable comment from visitors 

 to our office.
