DAHLIA CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION. 

 September 23, 1890. 



The collection of Dahlias brought together for the Conference 

 was very extensive, and occupied a large tent. The blooms 

 were, on the whole, very fine, and, for the sake of comparison, 

 were divided into five groups, in acccordance with the terms of 

 the schedule, viz. Show Dahlias, Fancy Dahlias, Cactus or 

 Decorative Dahlias, Single Dahlias, and Pompon Dahlias. This 

 mode of arrangement proved to be very effective, although single 

 varieties were not in such abundance as the others. 



Messrs. Keynes, Williams & Co., Salisbury, had a fine 

 collection, consisting of twenty-four Fancy varieties, twelve 

 bunches of Cactus and Decorative kinds, and twenty-four bunches 

 of Pompons.
