The Double Dahlia (Georgina variabilisfl-pl-') was for half a century 
a leading florists’ flower, and, indeed, no large garden is now complete 
without it. The perfect symmetry of form and variety of colour 
which have been attained will always preserve them from being neglec¬ 
ted for any length of time. However, fashion changes, the old order 
gives way to the new, and the Single Varieties a few years since 
evoked a species of mania which has not yet subsided, and it must be 
admitted the graceful shape and brilliant colours of the Single kinds are 
deserving of the warmest admiration. Now, yet another kind heads 
the race, the so-called CaetUS Dahlia, of which our illustration gives 
the type; these merit cultivation from their singularity of form, and 
have not yet reached their zenith. Our strain has been specially hybri¬ 
dised and fertilised with various species, and should produce new kinds.
