In flower borders, shrubberies, and large beds on lawns, 
it would be difficult to find plants of easier culture and 
more effective than the species of Dahlia, with their 
■ graceful habit of growth, and showy , rich-coloured< 
single flowers. Dot back lines in flower borders, and 
for distant effect, these single Dahlias are all that 
could be desired.

Charming elegant plants, best propagated from seed, the seedlings flowering profusely the second season, 
Cy clamen Per' sicum grandiflo'rum, to this strain many prizes and certificates have been awarded 
by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society; foliage, most

hardy varieties, mixed, including summer, autumn, winter, and spring-flowering. 
The hardy autumn flowering Cyclamen arc charming on rock-work, in select 
flower borders, and on dry banks, also as pot plants; the foliage is exquisitely 
variegated during winter and spring, and the flowers in some varieties are almost 
equal to those of Persic uni, while many of them are fragrant. As winter bedding 
plants the autumn-flowering Cyclamen are matchless, especially when associated 
with Snowdrops and Scilla Sibirica, the flowers of these succeeding the Cyclamen, 
and presenting a beautiful contrast amidst the variegated foliage. For plants see

DIAN'THUS, Nat. Ord. Caryophyllacece. Splendid hardy annuals, etc. 
D. sinensis ( Chinese or Indian Pink, as it is sometimes called ) ranks foremost in bedding plants from seed. 
Raised early in spring under glass, potted on and planted out, it is in bloom in June, and will continue covered 
with flowers till late in autumn, if a little attention is paid to it. Some of the finest effects in our Experimental 
Grounds have been produced by the varieties of I mpeHaiis, Ileddcwigii, Laciniatus , and Nanus. If seed is sown 
in autumn the plants stand the winter, and in summer each plant will form a complete bush. . The flowers range 
in colour from the purest white to the deepest crimson and the most beautiful lilac. Seed may also be sown 
from March to May out of doers where intended to bloom for a summer and late autumn display.
