NEWER VARIETIES OF DAHLIAS. 

 By Richard Vincent, Jr. 



Among the most attractive dahlias 

 we had growing the past year, that is 

 the varieties that attracted the atten- 

 tion of all flower lovers who visited 

 our trial fields and grounds, I have 

 named the leaders: 



Mina Burgle, Dr. Tevis, Ilortulanus 

 Fiet, Futurity, King of. the Autumn, 

 Dream, Beloit, Alabaster, Geisha, Kalif. 



There are a number of other varie- 

 ties that are really good commercially 

 and so are the majority of this list, 

 but they are particularly suited to the 

 small grower. 



Procure plants of these varieties the 

 last of May or the first of June, head 

 down the first growth so as to form 

 a good growth at the base of the plant, 

 then you can rest assured that if soil 

 and other conditions are looked after, 

 a quantity of fine blooms will reward 

 the grower. 



One particular strong and vigorous 

 grower is Futurity. It seems both dis- 

 ease and weather proof. It is a Hol- 

 land production, a deep pink in color. 

 Its parentage we do not know, but it is 

 apparently of some kin to King of 

 Autumn and Dream, both good ones. 



Hortulanus Fiet is also a Holland 

 production of sterling merit. Mina 

 Burgle is a California production, the 

 best of reds for the garden. A lot of 

 others are really good; in fact there 

 are many others to select from. — 

 Bulletin of the American Dahlia 

 Society.
