 on the 6th inst. at which among other proceedings, it was 

 resolved that they would pass over tlie Old Bridge as 

 long asoue half of the tolls should be appropriated to

 and that they would give information to their friends in

 avenue. 



The ship Amazon from Hull arrived below Quebec oil

SUPERB DOUBI.E DAHLIAS. 



The subscribers have now leady for delivery (in pots) several 

 hundred of the finest varieties of "Dalilias thai arc ouilivaled in 

 England. They offer none but what they ilowcrod lliemselves 

 last season, and' which attlic Horticultural as well as iheirown 

 private exhibition, attracted so much notice. The pr.ce is jJlO 

 per dozen, or g5 for six ; each of wliich is a named variety. A 

 descriptive list of their color and height, with a printed treatise 

 on their management, will be furnished to every purchaser, in 

 order that they may he so arranged in the garden that the 

 Dwarfs will not be hid by the taller varieties. 



They are all genuine "sorts from the slock root, and not en- 

 grafted on the tubers of common Dahlias, as is sometimes done, 

 and which is a very deceptive mode. The following are a few 

 of the fine sorts ;— Hall's Mo»ul, purple, French white, Squibbs' 

 pure yellow, Lady Grenville, pink ; Well's Triumf) Koyai, 

 ruby pink ; Radiata, large red ; Lord Lyndhurst, fine orange ; 

 Beauty of Hertford, crimson j Mountain of Snow, white ; Coc- 

 cinea Speciosissima, scarlet ; Involute Purpurea, curious dark 

 purple ; Stephenia, dark maroon ; Eminent, dark purple ; 

 Grandeur Superbe, fine crimson; Dennisii, ruby purple; tes- 

 ter's Constantia, carmine red ; Colvell's Perfecta, shaded pur- 

 ple ; Beauty of CheshunI, scarlet; Pulla, darkmaroon ; Don- 

 na Maria, scarlet ; Barrett's Susannah, e.\quisite purple; Rom- 

 ulus, ghttering scarlet ; Rose excelleiile, pink ; Plants Purpu- 

 rea Perfecta, fine purple ; Aurantia Supcrba, fine orange : 

 Vulcan, very dark purple ; Moss Pelham, Lilac, &c. tfcc. 



They can be packed willi safety for any journey not exceed- 

 ing a week. Orders from a distance, enclosmg the amount, 

 will be promptly attended to, without charge for packing, and 

 when the selection is left to us, we will send such as will ibrra a 

 pleasing combination of color and height, which is from 3 to 7 

 feet. 



Within the last three years, ilie Double Dahlia has attracted 

 more attention in England, France, Holland, and our own 

 country, (to the fine autumns of which it is well adapted,) than 

 any other flower, for the last century. The easy mode of cul- 

 ture — the majestic beauty of their growth — the great variety 

 and unrivalled splendor of tlieir flowers at a season of the year 

 when such beautiful objects are most required — together with 

 iJie circumstance of their succeeding nearly as well in the close 

 air of cities as the free air of the country, renders them most 

 desirable. 



The roots are easily preserved over winter which, in the 

 spring can be divided, every division of which will flower 

 freely the same season. 



Some collections in Europe extend to five hundred sorts — but 

 all those most worthy of notice have been introduced, within 

 the last two years, and which can be condensed into a hundred 

 and fifty varieties (at which limit we keep our colleciion) — have 

 been particular to throw out all dull colored or imperfect formed 

 flowers — as a proper selection is preferable to a lab^T-intli of 

 names which only tends to puzzle those who sit down to raake 

 choice of a few sorts. 



Also, a choice collection of Chinese Chrysanthemums, now 

 in season for transplanting into the garden, or for potting. 



Double Tuberoses — Jacobean Lilies (Amarylys formosls- 

 sima) and Mexican Tiger Flowers, still on hand and in season 

 for planting. G. THORBURN & SON,
