THE FLORAL WORLD 



WORDS OF APPRECIATION. 



We have been subscribers to The 

 Floral World since its first issue, and 

 love it dearly as bur very own, as none 

 but flower-loving people are allowed to 

 write for it. May our little plant magazine 

 live and flourish for many years.

DAHLIAS. 



The finest thing in my old garden is an 

 imperial dahHa. The main stem is over 

 twelve feet high, with branching top hav- 

 ing fully fifty great bell-shaped flowers, 

 each one being eight inches across. They 

 are pearly white with faint lines of mauve 

 pink deepening to the center, which is 

 just a big bunch of yellow stamens. I 

 have cut and counted a hundred and 

 forty-three flowers and there are still buds 

 and flowers. Some plants, in twenty- 

 pound tin buckets have just as large blos- 

 soms, but the plants have been pinched 

 and are dwarf. These dahlias will bloom 

 all winter in a warm, sunny window, but 

 in the garden they die off like other 

 dahlias and are left in the ground all 

 winter. 



Louisiana. M. E. C. Pearce. 



[Hardly less astonishing have been the results 

 obtained from the high cultivation of the dahlia 

 than with the chrysanthemum. Some of the later 

 introductions in dahlias are decidedly novel and 

 beautiful ] .
