DAHI.IA. 
This exceedingly beau¬ 
tiful genus compiiscs an 
almost endless number 
of varieties, all more or 
less showy in the flower 
garden in the autumn, 
when most other flowers 
have faded. They are 
all of easy cultivation, 
growing freely in almost 
any soil, from seed sown 
in spring. The seed can 
be sown in shallow pans, 
any time from March to 
July, and the seedlings 
transplanted to small 
pots. As soon as they 
are strong enough (but 
not until danger of frost is over) plant out, one foot 
apart. These plants will make tubers which should be 
taken up in the fall and kept through the winter in a 
dry place, away from frost, and planted out in tin- 
spring, when they will blossom the following autumn. 
New varieties are constantly being produced from seed, 
some of them of exquisite beauty.
