plants which were entirely blackened 

 by the first frost. It is therefore of 

 the greatest importance not to do any- 

 thing to the dahlias after the first frost 

 has appeared. 



It may be well here to mention that 

 in order to produce the greatest amount 

 of tubers and the largest clumps, it is 

 advisable to cut back the dahlia plant 

 to within eighteen inches of the ground 

 right in the height of the flowering 

 season. Experiments along these lines 

 will be found most interesting and in- 

 structive. In this period of second 

 growth it is of advantage to those who 

 are anxious to increase their stock of 

 certain varieties to make cuttings, as 

 just the ideal growth for cuttings is 

 then made. 



WELL MATURED BULBS. 



Those who have had any experience 

 know the advantage of having well-ma- 

 tured bulbs, but during the last few 

 years we have been receiving consign- 

 ments from Holland earlier than former- 

 ly, and I think many of them have been 

 dug before properly ripened, says a writ- 

 er in the Horticultural Advertiser. Early 

 potting is, no doubt, an advantajge, but 

 well-ripened bulbs potted later will do 

 better than immature bulbs potted early. 

 Treatment has much to do with success, 

 yet the most skillful grower cannot make 

 up for imperfect bulbs, especially with 

 those where the flowers are in embryo 

 state before being started into active 

 growth. Flowers may be developed to a 

 larger size and every bloom opened, but 

 you cannot add to the number of flow- 

 ers originally formed in the dormant 



bulbs. 



Another matter worthy of notice is 

 that it is not always the largest bulbs 

 that prove the most satisfactory, but 

 those of smaller size, which are firm and 

 plump, succeed better. Sorts vary; 

 some produce much larger bulbs natural- 

 ly than others do. In hyacinths the blues 

 are usually the largest and yellows the 

 smallest. Any that appear to be low 

 and soft in the crowns rarely prove Sat- 

 isfactory; but in this, sorts vary; some 

 show signs of starting much earlier than 

 others.
