DO DAHLIAS REVERT? 

 Have you ever had amateurs come 

 to you with the complaint that all of 

 their fancy dahlias had reverted to 

 common red kinds? It is almost im- 

 possible to argue with some people, 

 telling them that a dahlia grown from 

 tubers will invariably be the same 

 Bort of dahlia as was produced the 

 year before. Yet the fact remains, as 

 a matter of course. And the explana- 

 tion of the difficulty lies probably in 

 the strange persistency of all red 

 kinds. Red dahlias have a hold on 

 life which is amazing. Oftentimes a 

 few good tubers are found at the bot- 

 tom of a decaying mass, and if planted 

 out almost invariably prove to be red. 

 Most amateurs lose some bulbs every 

 year while they are in storage. They 

 are usually the lighter colored kinds. 

 Most amateurs, too, give away a num- 

 ber of bulbs to their friends, and quite 

 naturally pick out those which have 

 given them the most satisfaction. All 

 these things conspire to keep a pre- 

 dominant note of red, which explains, 

 although not very satisfactorily it 

 seems in most cases, the seeming re- 

 version of the amateur's plants.
