1274 PANMURE EXTRA CHOICE L.ARGE PI.OWERING, 

 DOUBIiE MIXED, Dahlia culture is no small part of the work at 

 my Panmure Seed Gardens, in Southern New Jersey. In addition to 

 growing roots of the standard sorts, it is necessary to test all the lead- 

 ing and best introductions that make thelp appearance season by sea- 

 son. There are acres of blooming dahlias at Panmure every summer, 

 and the dlfierent flowers make magnificent ribbons or belts of color. 

 Indeed, it is doubtful whether there is a more choice collection of large 

 flowering double dahlias in the world than at Panmure, and it is from 

 these choice specimens that I save seed. Of course, I cannot guaran- 

 tee color or type from seed procured in this way, but can safely remind 

 my friends that high-bred ancestry means high-bred progeny, and can, 

 therefore, recommend this seed without reserve. It is certain to pro- 

 duce beautiful types, perhaps many 

 that will prove rare or new.
