OUR COLLECTION OF DAHLIAS. 
We have spared no pains, trouble, or expense in our 
endeavours to make our collection of Dahlias as complete 
and representative as possible. Our a m has been not to 
include every known variety, but to keep and add only 
those of real merit showing an improvement on older 
varieties. This has necessitated the trial of innumerable 
sorts, many of which have been discarded owing to their 
not reaching the high standard of merit necessary to justify 
their inclusion in our collection.
