NEW DAHLIAS. 

 Those Which Showed Promise In the 

 Trial Gardens at Storrs. 

 Now that dahlia lovers are selecting 

 the varieties that are to become a part 

 of next season's gardens, a few words 

 of comment on the newer dahlias suit- 

 ed for garden or exhibition purposes 

 may be timely. The varieties de- 

 scribed in the following notes are 

 those that showed promise in the trial 

 gardens of the American Dahlia So- 

 ciety, conducted last year at the Con- 

 necticut Agricultural College at Storrs. 

 In this list I have mentioned only 

 those that are on the market; or are 

 likely to be soon. There were several 

 other splendid varieties that received 

 the certificate of merit that were en- 

 tered by amateurs, and private grow- 

 ers, some under number, so I doubt 

 If they will be on the market this sea^ 

 son. All the varieties are free flower- 

 ing, and were grown without disbud- 

 ding so should make large flowers If 

 disbudded for exhibition purposes. 

 Those marked with a * received the 

 Society's Certificate of Merit.

 land, Oregon). A large crimson-pur- 

 ple duplex, that is very attractive
