Dahlias. These showy and pretty flowers 
are becoming very popular and justly 
so. The Dahlia is one of the showiest 
of all fall flowers, commencing to flower 
in Jul}', they are a perfect bloom until 
stopped by frost. Flowers are most 
perfect and of beautiful form. Dahlias 
are di\'ided into classes as follows: Cac- 
tus, Decorative, Show, Fancy, Pompon, 
Single, Collarette and Seedling; each 
class is comprised of a number of different 
varieties. Colors numerous. Before 
freezing weather, dig and store in frost- 
proof cellar.

three or four feet in diameter; flowers 
pure white and graceful. One of the 
prettiest and most popular small shrubs.

and most satisfactory plants in the her- 
baceous garden, and should be planted

continuously from June until late in 
the fall, if the precaution is taken to remove 
the flower stems before they can produce
