A well-known and justly admired class of flowers. Nothing can be more 

 effective than a bed of Dahlias or a few individual plants of them placed 

 around borders. By sowing early in spring and afterwards transplanting, 

 they can be had in flower the same season. The single and Cactus varieties 

 are valuable for decorative work in vases, etc. H. H. P.
