DAHLIA. 



One of our best late summer and autumn flowering plants, and 

 now enjoying a wide popularity ; the double sorts will bloom the 

 first season if the seed is sown before the beginning of April; the 

 single sorts will bloom from seed sown in the open ground as late 

 as June, although an earlier start is better. Many prefer the sin- 

 gle sorts to Cosmos, they having a larger variety of colors and a 

 longer season of bloom. per pkt.
