ANOTHER TYPE OF DAHLIA. 
DAHLIA, DOUBI.E GLORIA, ANEMONE-FORMED— The flowers of these offer 
such a variety of shapes that every true Dahlia friend is agreeably surprised and delighted ; the 
thoroughly flne double flowers are indeed on every plant different in shape as well as in size and 
colour; in fact it is a difficult matter to describe all the different forms of this beautiful Dahlia. 
From seed, as has been noticed for six years, aboot 80 per cent, are true, and the culture is as with 
the other classes a very easy one. If sown in March-April they will flower in September. l.s. per

We have a collection of the best and most distinct named varieties, selected from a great 
number of seedlings. These will undoubtedly become of considerable value and use for cut flowers 
and other similar purposes, formation and colouring of flowers being all that one can desire, the 
foliage of many of them being highly ornamental, and they produce an enormous quantity of 
flowers. Gd. each ; 6s. dozen.
