another that we considered the same. So much for a lib¬

many different clumps, and mostly in such out-of-the-way 
places as some of our neighbors have set apart for bur¬ 
docks and other natives more vigorous than beautiful. For 
the next two months we shall have a display of the “ best 
twelve dahlias,” that we shall enjoy for their own sakes, 
besides the intense satisfaction of hearing our neighbor 
say “ that next "year he will swap ” his burdocks and 
plantain for dahlias and mignonette. Will he ? We 
have altogether too much delight in our garden to en¬ 
umerate further this month, so we must defer the remain¬ 
der until the next.
