Single-flowered Dahlias. 
The Single-flowered Dahlias are charming as cut flowers, and splendidly effective when well staged for exhibition. They commence 
blooming about the end of July, and are resplendent with a profusion of their lovely flowers till killed by the frost in Autumn. The- 
small or medium sized flowers are the most useful, cither for exhibition or decorative purposes, as it is found they retain their 
beauty for a much longer period when cut than the larger blooms. We have made some fine additions to our list of these, which 
contains the choicest varieties in commerce.

NEW SINGLE DAHLIA, MARGUERITE, 
NEW SINGLE DAHLIA, 
“ MARGUERITE.” 
Tms very pretty and useful variety was introduced by' us last season, 
and named “ Marguerite,” in consequence of its striking resemblance at a> 
short distance to the Marguerite Daisy. The flowers are white with a yellow 
disc, the petals long and pointed, aud when the blooms are made up into 
bouquets, &e, they have the most charming appearance. This will be found 
a welcome addition to (he white flowers now used for decorative purposes, 
and valuable alike for decorating the church or home ; it is also exceedingly 
useful in the making of memorial wreaths and crosses.

From THE OA It DEN Eli S' MAGAZINE. October 31st, 1891. 
“The Single Dahlia named Marguerite from Messrs. 
Daniels Bros, Norwich, is distinct, the colour white, and, as shown 
in a bouquet, very charming.” 
From THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY TIMES, Dec. 12tb, 1891. 
“But many other curious flowers and plauts were exhibited, 
amongst them being noticeable a fine stand of a new variety of 
a white Single Dahlia, the Marguerite, shown by Messrs. 
Daniels Bros, the well-known Norwich nurserymen and florists., 
and so named from its star-like petals aud general similarity to 
the Marguerite Daisy.”
