Very few of the novelties introduced by us have 
met with such a great reception and been so 
genuinely admired as the new Peony-flowered 
Dahlia, “John Green.” At the great Dahlia 
Trials carried out by Reginald Cory, Esq., at 
Cardiff, it was singled out as one of the finest 
varieties, and receive XXX by the judges, and 
Mr. Cory was so pleased with it that he in¬ 
tends to plant a complete bed of it. The col¬ 
oring is exceptionally attractive and intensely 
brilliant; the center being a clear golden yellow 
which quickly changes to fiery scarlet. A great 
feature of this variety is its lasting qualities, 
the flowers remaining in full beauty for over 
a week, unhurt by rain or sun. The shape of 
the flower is perfectly original ; the petals be¬ 
ing beautifully pointed, giving it a star-like 
appearance. Awarded First-class Certificate by
