SINGLE DAHLIAS. 
NOTICE.— /V£M' PARAGON— This variety after being propagated proved quite 
an inferior character to that described, and, in fact, quite a useiess flower ; and aii 
who purchased the same, and was disappointed, we beg that they wiii intimate the same 
to afford us the opportunity of sending any piants (or otherwise) to the corresponding 
value paid.

JIJIIKSE have now won many friends : they are really and tnily “the Ladies’ Flower,” and nothing 
looks hotter on the drawing-room table, .sideboards, &e., when decided colours are chosen. 
Those with small flowers and of a neat shape, rather inclined to he starry, arc decidedly those which 
find the most favour ; small discs and pereistency of petal are also necessary. Ferns are not at their 
brightest when Dahlias are at their liest, consequently it is a great advantage to cultivate the (Iracilis 
section, whose foliage is beautifully cut, and much resembles Ferns, and in the epergne arc sure to be 
favourites. Again, all this section are of a dwarfer nature and a far more graceful character, and the 
difl'erence between tliem and the old coarse foliage of the ordinary kinds of Dahlia is very great. They 
are much prettier, and for either the border or beds, where planted sideways and pegged down, they 
form themselves into an attractive cone. It is this .section that Mr. Moore has for years been trying 
to bring to perfection, and every year he nears this point. The following will be found invaluable.
