This new class of semi-double, exceedingly graceful, and 
decorative Dahlias, is rapidly gaining favor. The flowers, 
which are frequently six to eight inches in diameter, re¬ 
semble ■ somewhat the magnificent semi-double Japanese 
Tree Peonies, hence the name. As the. flowers are borne 
on long stems and all the varieties bloom with.great free¬ 
dom, they are valuable alike for cutting and for garden 
embellishment.

both in make-up and color. The early blooms are quite

fantastic manner; presenting a decided Japanese effect.
