 Dahlia, the Dahlia has always 

 been a favorite for autumn flow-

 metrical 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 win- 

 ter, placed in a cool cellar, and not allowed to freeze. 

 The plants should be supported by tying to stakes.

Ferns, too much cannot be said in favor of these 

 graceful plants, and we are glad to see they are con- 

 stantly growing in favor each year, till no collection of 

 plants, however small, is now considered perfect without 

 at least a few varieties of ferns. In places too shady for 

 other plants to thrive, they grow in great beauty. Com- 

 ing as they do from every clime, we find them a very 

 interesting study. They are alike good for baskets, 



'aisy.
