DAHLIA. 



The Dahlia 

 has always been 

 - a favorite for 

 ■jr' autumn flower- 

 "i ing. The flow- 

 ers are so sym- 

 metrical and 

 perfect, and the 

 range of brill- 

 iant colors so 

 large and vari- 

 ed, that they 

 will always be 

 popular where 

 display is want- 

 ed. 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 placed in a cool cellar, and 

 not be allowed to freeze during winter. The plants 

 should be supported by tying to stakes. Ready for 

 ship7nent about April 1st. each. doz.
