 from early in the season until frost, furnishing at all times an 

 abundance of perfect flowers on good stems suitable for cutting, for 

 which purpose they are exceptionally well adapted, lending them- 

 selves admirably to house and particularly to table decoration, 

 where larger Dahlias would be out of place. Furthermore, the last-

 the larger flowered types. They do best in soils not too rich.
