DAHLIAS AT HAMMONTON. 



J. Murray Bassett welcomed Arthur A. . 

 Niessen and Phil at the station at Ham- 

 monton, N. J., on the occasion of our 

 visit last week, and drove us to his home 

 in the heart of the dahlia fields. Mr. Bas- 

 sett has ten acres planted in dahlias, all 

 in nice condition, showing excellent culti- 



vation, and scrupulously clean. He lim- 

 its his varieties to those that he believes 

 best for cut flowers and for garden 

 planting, keeping the number down to 

 perhaps 100 sorts despite the increase in 

 acreage. The ramble through the dahlia 

 fields with Mr. Bassett was full of in- 

 terest. He has ideas, and carries them 

 out consistently. 



Pink Pearl Mr. Bassett believes to be 

 one of the finest, if not the finest, pink 

 dahlia for cuttitig, even better than 

 Kriemhilde. Some specimen flowers shown 

 were remarkable, despite the drought, for 

 size and brilliancy of color. 



In yellow Mr. Bassett considers Mrs. 

 Cliflford W. Bruton as the best. Its draw- 

 back is that a certain percentage come 

 semi-double, marring their beauty. A 

 coming rival for supremacy in the yellows 

 is Yellow Queen, a magnificent flower of 

 decorative type. 



In white. Flora ranks high. Sylvia is 

 largely grown for cutting, the color being 

 such a beautiful combination of pink and 

 white. Souvenir de Gustave Douzon ranks 

 high as a deep rich red. Among the 

 French collarette varieties Mr. Bassett 

 considers Pres. Viger, with white collar 

 and yellow stamens, in a class by itself. 

 Lindhurst Mr. Bassett considers the 

 standard red. 



Among the other varieties of special 

 interest there were noted two kinds of 

 Aurora, one a golden yellow, decorative 

 type, the other a bronze salmon, cactus 

 type. Cardinal is a fine single of the 

 Century type, the color being described 

 by its name'; the flowers stand up beau- 

 tifully over the plant. Yellow Prince is 

 a fine variety of jthe cactus type. Lovely 

 is a unique shadte of pink. Countess of 

 Lonsdale, a cactus bronze-salmon, is 

 unique. * 



Jack Rose will be introduced by Mr. 

 Bassett 's father in two years. It is a 

 striking variety; its name exactly de- 

 scribes its appearance, an immense Gen. 

 Jacqueminot rose. Whether this variety 

 will survive in the fierce competition in 

 the cut flower market remains to be seen ; 

 its health and showiness seem to insure it 



(Dahlia Pink Pearl.) (Dahlia Jack Rose.)
