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, 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. Our list of these contains the choicest varieties 
in commerce.

SINGLE DAHLIA— “Marguerite.” 
This very pretty and useful variety was recently introduced b} r us, and named “ Marguerite,” in consequence of its striking resemblance 
at a short distance to the Marguerite Daisy. The flowers arc white with a yellow disc, the petals long and pointed, and when the blooms 
are made up into bouquets, &e., they have the most charming appearance. This will be found a welcome addition to the 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. Each 9d. ; 3 for 2s. 
NEW DOUBLE MIGNONETTE-Bush Hill White. 
A beautifully compact growing variety, with pretty spikes of almost pure white, deliciously scented, double flowers. It is admirably 
suited for growing in pots, and will be found exceedingly useful for bouquets. The flowers being very double, it can only be 
propagated from cuttings. Strong young plants, each Is. ; 3 for 2s. Gd.
