A DAHLIA GROWER. 



A number of Hartford's dahlia lov- 

 ers made a pleasant journey last week 

 to the large dahlia fields of John H. 

 Sloeombe, who is a successful grower 

 of dahlias and who has originated 

 many beautiful new varieties of this 

 grand autumn flower. Over three hours 

 were spent by the visitors in inspect- 

 ing the beautiful show and J. W. 

 Adams published in the Hartford 

 Times an enthusiastic account of 

 what they saw which should give a 

 good lift to the interests of the dahlia 

 and particularly as represented by Mr. 

 Sloeombe among the public of that sec- 

 tion. 



In answer to inquiries by the visit- 

 ors as to his methods of treating 

 dahlias (which have blossomed so 

 sparingly in Hartford this season), he 

 said he had no special way, except to 

 mulch the ground around the plants. 

 But the secret is evidently in the lo- 

 cation and soil. Although on high 

 ground the soil of Mr. Slocombe's 

 place is moist and the field is pro- 

 tected on two sides by long stretches 

 of alder, a small, clear stream 

 bordering it on one side, and the cool; 

 damp breezes from the harbor seem 

 to be just what the plants need to 

 make them thrive.

|]T PRUDENCE is of 

 ^ more frequent use than 

 any other intellectual qual- 

 ity; it produces vigilance 

 rather than elevation, 

 rather prevents loss than 

 procures advantages; and 

 keeps a man on the safe 

 side, inducing him to make 

 a permanent investment, 

 rather than a temporary 

 speculation. A man need 

 not be a miser to be pru- 

 dent — a prudent man is 

 one who is thoughtful and 

 has the ability to foresee 

 what is sensible, and then 

 follow his own conclusions. 

 Especially should a man 

 be prudent in buying lily 

 bulbs because it costs no 

 more to force good bulbs 

 than inferior ones, and 

 since the real profit is not 

 on the bulbs themselves, 

 but on the prolific qualities 

 of the bulbs ; how costly 

 inferior bulbs actually are 

 must be manifest to all 

 who think. The best lily 

 bulbs you can buy are 

 none too good, being a 

 product of nature and sub- 

 ject to nature's whims, so 

 buy the best you can get 

 and you will be doing all 

 mortal man can do toward 

 success. Write for prices.
