Single Dahlias. 
^ITE beauty of our collection, covering just upon an acre, last autumn was a sight never to be 
forgotten by the hundreds that saw them. For show purposes the flowers must he medium- 
size, with broad rounded petals, so that they form a perfectly circular flower, with small disc ; 
these, when indrvidually wired and made to stand out in a symmetrical bunch, jiresent a grand 
and sensational appearance when ranged in a Rose Box with moss. The third class are the dwarf 
bedding varieties, with fern-like foliage and decided colours ; these make lovely beds.
