Dahlia Gloria. (An Absolutely New Class.) The 
disc or center of the flower is highly 
developed, as shown in the illustration, while the sur¬ 
rounding rays are arranged as in the ordinary single

variously formed, including the cactus type, the single or 
flat type, and the incurved or show type. All the known 
Dahlia colors and tints, and more besides, are found in 
this new sort. The seed here offered is direct from the 
originator. Seeds planted in May bloomed in August. 
Mixed colors. Packet, 10c.; 3 for 25c.
