yalue of this acquisition will be better understood when it is

similar in color, and almost as good in form and substance.

cut down by the frost. (See cut,) which is a good repre- 
sentation of all the varieties of single Dahlias.

NEW DWARF DAHLIA, “Marguerite,” 
This beautiful new variety was exhibited for the first time 
at the New York Horticultural Society's rooms on the 2d of 
October, 1882, and was considered to be one of the greatest 
acquisitions of its color we have yet had in Dahlias. It is of 
perfect double form, about two inches in diameter, and of 
the richest shade of pink; in addition to this, it blooms in the 
greatest profusion from beginning of August until frost. 
This quality of earliness is of great value, as many varieties 
of Dahlias come so late in the season as to greatly Jessen 
their value. 50 cts. each; $4.50 per doz.
