DAHLIA, 



This exceedingly beautiful genus comprises an almost 

 endless number of varieties, all more or less showy in 

 the flower garden in the autumn, when most other flow- 

 ers have faded. They are all of easy cultivation, grow- 

 ing freely in almost any soil, from seed sown in spring. 

 The seed should be sown in shallow pans, in March, 

 and the seedlings transplanted to small pots. As soon 

 as danger of frost is over,, plant out, one foot apart. 

 These plants will make a tuber, which should be taken 

 up in the fall and kept through the winter in a cool, dry 

 place, away from frost, and planted out in the spring, 

 when it will blossom the following autumn. New vari- 

 eties are constantly being produced from seed, some of 

 them of exquisite beauty.
