This is an ambitious title but the author covers the subject thoroughly in a masterful style.— 
Gardeners’ Chronicle of America. 
This book will be a useful guide to both professional and amateur grower, as it is written 
simply and directly, with a thorough knowledge of the subject.—Florists’ Review. 
Here is contained a most comprehensive history of the dahlia, replete with pictures from 
early publications, tracing the history of this exotic flower from its first findings in Mexico 
through its introduction into Europe and eventually to the United States.—New York Herald-

The chapter on culture is most complete and covers all the aspects that any grower will look 
for. Here are all the details all growers need. 
Mr. Riley gives some very important pointers on the care of plants and cut blooms that are 
to go to the show table. All the necessary suggestions that will help the grower to win blue 
ribbons are set forth in detail.—New York Herald-Tribune. 
I have never read a more sensible book on the growing of one genius.—Golden Gardens. The
