In flower borders, shrubberies, and large beds on lawns, 
it would be difficult to find platits of easier culture and 
more effective than the species of Dahlia, with their ^ 
graceful habit of growth, and showy, rich-coloured-l 
single flo 7 oers. Fof back lines in flower borders, and 1 
for distant effect, these single Dahlias are all that | 
could be desired. See Novelties ,p.

DIAN THUS, Nat. Ord. Garyophylla cem. Splendid hardy annuals, etc. 
D. sinensis {Chinese or Indian Pink, as it is sometimes called') ranks foremost in bedding plants from seed. 
Ra,ised early in string under glass, potted on and planted out, it is in bloom in June, and will continue covered 
with fiowers 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 Jmperialis, Heddewigii, Laciniatus, and Nanus. If seed is sown 
in autumn the plants stand tht winter, and in summer each plant will form a complete bush. The flowers ran§e 
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 doors where intended to bloom for a summer and late autumn display.
