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 flowers have faded. They are all of easy cultivation, growing 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 vSpring, when it v/ill blos- 

 som the following Autumn. New varieties are constantly being produced from 

 seed, some of them of exquisite beauty.
