GOOD COMMERCIAL DAHLIAS. 



Will you name three dahlias of com- 

 mercial value? "• "'• 



It is a difficult matter to sift dahlias 

 down to three varieties, more particu- 

 larly when nothing is said as to what 

 type is preferred. In cactus, Countess 

 of Lonsdale, salmon tinted apricot; 

 Pink Perle, soft rose-pink, and Kriem- 

 hilde, brilliant pink, are an excellent 

 trio. In decoratives, C. W. Bruton, 

 bright yellow; Souvenir de Gustave 

 Doazon, clear scarlet, an immense 

 flower, and Henry Patrick, pure white, 

 are fine. Among double show dahlias, 

 Grand Duke Alexis, pure white, tinted 

 lavender; A. D. Livoni, charming soft 

 pink, and Dreer's White are hard to 

 ib«at. Probably you would find Kriem- 

 liilde, A. D. Livoni, Grand Duke Alexis 

 and C. W. Bruton as fine as any for 

 your purpose. They are not new, but 

 are thoroughly reliable and free flow- 

 ering. C. W. 



ALUM IN WATER. 



Our town has installed a filter plant 

 and uses a great deal of alum in the 

 water. I should like to know whether 

 this water is injurious to plants. 



E. W. 



I have known of one or two similar 

 cases where alum was freely used in 

 connection with filter beds, but the flo- 

 rists using this water have not noticed 

 any ill effects. The opinion of others 

 on this subject would be interesting, 

 but my personal opinion is that you 

 have nothing to fear from using the 

 water. C* "•
