Dahlia.— Carters’ Cross-fertilised Strains. 
The Double Dahlia was for half a century a 
leading florists’ flower. However, fashion 
changes, and the Single Varieties a few years 
since evoked a species of mania which has 
not yet subsided. Yet another kind now heads 
the race, the so-called Cactus Dahlia, of which 
our illustration shows the type. Our strain has 
been specially hybridised and fertilised with 
various species, and should produce some novel 
kinds. Sow the seed in early spring, in heat, 
and pot off. Plant out as soon as large enough 
in June. We can supply plants in May. {See 
page 183.)
