These Dahlias eomprrse all the finest and newest varieties exhibited the 

 last Autumn in this country and in Europe : many of which cost from 2 

 to 5 guineas each. They should be taken- immediately from the pots they 

 are now in and planted in the open ground. The ground should be well 

 dug, and if manure be used, it should be well rotted. It is. however, unne-

 the cellar during the winter,
