Single-flowered Dahlias. 
The Single-flowered Dahlias are charming as cut flowers, and splendidly efl'oetive 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, either 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 Tom Thumb Single Dahlias. 
A (juiTE now and distinct race of Dahlias raised by Mr. T. AY. Girdlestone, Secretary to the National Dahlia Society, and remarkable 
for their dwarf habit, compact growth, and consequent suitability for bedding purposes. The plants are of a close compact habit 
of growth, and do not generally exceed tw'elve inches in height, whilst the brilliantly coloured flowers arc produced in great 
profusion. The number of varieties is at present very limited, but we may soon expect a great variety of beautiful flowers in this 
class. Will be found splendidly effective for edging of large beds or shrubbery borders, or lor filling small beds, &c.
