DAHLIA ANALYSIS, 1883-1890. 
The Exhibition held by the Xafional Dahlia Society at the 
Crystal Palace in September last proved a very successful and 
interestiog one, and but for a frost, ivhich did much damage in 
many paits of the country shortly before the Show, it would do 
doubt have been much larger than it was. Notwithstandin| this 
frost, which for the time of year was a remarkably severe one, at 
only two previous exhibitions has there been staged such a la-ge 
number of Show Dahlias. The Fancier, e msidering how few 
classes are now specially devoted to them in the schedule, 
were well represented. In those set apart for Pompon, Cactus, 
SHOW DAHLIAS.
