DAHLIAS. 
In the following list of Dahliiw? wo have cntleavorctl to reject every variety not 
desirable ; they have all been flowered upon our own grounds and subject to the 
scrutiny of a very careful and reliable jiropagator. Our collection is extensive, and 
the varieties can be relied upon as being true to name. 
i)ahlias require a rich, mellow, well under-drained soil; they should be liberally 
treated with well rotted stable manure. To keep the ground sulliciently moist, let 
it be thoroughly mulched ; this is better than the continued application of water. 
In a very dry time, water aiiplicd once a week may be well. Sup(;rfluous branches 
should be thinned out, and the stems secured to strong stakes. In the winter, the 
roots should be kept dry, and free from frost. They may be planted as late as the. 
middle of .June; and the roots secured for the winter in October or November.
