NEW DECORATIVE DAHLIA OF GREAT VALUE. 
ORANGE GLARE OF THE GARDEN (Smith) — As high as many varieties stand in the estimation of 
the iiublic, we believe none are more appreciated than the good old Glare of the Garden or Fire King. It is always the 
first and last to give useful flowers, and is more conspicuous in every garden than almost any other. The variety we are 
now olfering with great pleasure is an exact counterpart, excepting the colour of the (lowers, of the above-named general 
favourite ; it produces the same abundance of flowers of the loveliest orange-red ever seen in this family, and might 
justly he called “Soldier’s Tunic,” so bright and attractive is the colour. It is sure to become a universal favourite

GRAND NEW CACTUS DAHLIA. 
We have been appointed Distkibutoks oi' this distinct and beautiful vauibtv fok Gp.e.at Ueitain. 
LORELET — Flowers are of an agreeable size, and for beauty of shape and exquisite tint is far ahead of any other 
variety in commerce, excelling them in the more chaste and graceful combination of habit aud bloom, attracting the eye by 
its charmingly soft and richly blended rose colours, likened to the beautiful La France Rose, melting or shading towards 
the centre to ivory-white. It flowers in the wildest profusion, and is more than remarkable for its long stiff wiry steins, 
supporting blossoms of the most perfect porcupine-([uill shape well above the foliage, and at no time exhibiting even in 
the slightest degree, heavy or half-developed flowers— so frequently the case with many of our standard varieties. 
These sterling decorative rarden qualities, combined with its inimitable shape and delicate colour, demand for it in The 
garden and cut-flower trade a place that cannot be filled by any other Dahlia at present in cultivation. 3».
