A LIST OF DAHLIAS 



THAT HUE OBTAINED THE GREATEST NIJIBER OF PRIZES DURING 1834, 

 AT THE VARIOUS KLOIUCULTUXAL AND HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITIONS. 



Our lloricullural friends haying sent us accounts of a great number of 

 Dahlia exhibitions that have taken place throughout England, Scotland, 

 and Wales we. have seleelcd soma of the kinds that have won the greatest 

 number of prizes, in order that our readers may have a knowledge of those 

 which are considered to possess the most superior properties as to colour 

 and form. Some of the kinds in each class of colour are very new, and but 

 litlle spread through the country; consequently, although very superior in 

 tlufir class the range of exJubitiou being necessarily limited, has prevented 

 their attaining that station in the list which they deserve : such of them, 

 however, as we know to be good ones, are marked with an asterisk (*), 

 The mode of exhibiting the dowers in stands or pans containing 4, 6, 12, 

 .'><>, or 100 kinds, having become very general in the South of Eir-'.land, and 

 many of the finest sorts having been thus exhibited, we have given the 

 accounts, as forwarded to us, of some of the best exhibitions in this manner. 

 V,'.' observe, in Uie accounts of exhibitions sent us, that the llowcrs of each 

 class of colour are shown by themselves when to any extent, and that the 

 judges select three, six, twelve, &c. of the best flowers out of the lot, com- 

 mencing with the first best (lower, second ditto, &c. ; and from such deci- 

 sions the following table is taken. P.p. signifies a premier prize, — (hat is, 

 the prize offered for the best bloom of any colour, exhibited in the whole. 

 The table is thus arranged, viz. King of the Whites, one premier prize, seven 

 first prizes, live second prizes, live third prizes, Btfc'.'J in all, gaining 27 prizes
