DAHIJA. 



The Dahlia has always been a favorite for autumn 

 flowering. The flowers are so symmetrical and perfect, 

 and the range of brilliant colors so large and varied, that 

 they will always be popular where display is wanted. 

 The roots are tender, and easily injured by frost. They 

 should be set out three feet apart, after all danger of 

 frost is over, and during winter placed in a cool cellar, 

 and not allowed to freeze. The plants should be sup- 

 ported by tying to stakes. Our collection of mixed 

 Dahlias, both double and single, is the best ever offered 

 to the public, comprising all the positive colors with 

 their most striking shades. Ready for shipment about 

 April ist.
