DAHLIAS. 
ANY think the Dahlia is the grandest Autumn flower we 
have. Nothing is its cquuliin any respect in .September and 
October. It is in its glory when everything else is fading, 
and surrenders only to the Frost King. The Dahlia is di- 
vided into four pretty distinct classes, the ordinary or Show 
Dahlia ; the Dwarf or Bedding Dahlia, the Pompone or Bou- 
quet, with small, very perfect flowers, and the. Single Dahlia, 
which is now becoming very popular, and especially desira- 
ble for cutting. As the Dahlia is a Fall flower, there is no 
' a /. lima a run 11U\ 
need of planting before about the middle of May, or even later.
