NEW DAHLIAS. 



The following List of the highest priced Dahlias, offered for sale this 

 season, has been forwarded to us by an eminent Dahlia grower. The re- 

 spective merits of many of the kinds we are not acquainted with ; but from 

 the respectability of the person who has recommended them, in addition 

 to his superior knowledge of the real merits of a good Dahlia, we believe 

 the kinds may be depended on as to the character and description given ; 

 the prices also indicate the merits of the greater part. Any of the kinds 

 may be obtained of the persons who have advertised in the Cabinet, the last 

 and present month, though omitted in their lists : — 



The twenty following kinds are offered this season at 10s. 6d. per plant.
