We offer a book for the cultivation of dahlias, gives exact treatment and all the standard varieties; it is called "The Dahlia," by Lawrence K. Pea- cock. We advise all that are inter- ested in this popular flower to buy one of these books for the small sum of fifty cents. The dahlia is one of the oldest garden flowers in existence, and retains its great popularity. The roots ought to be planted as soon as the ground becomes warm, and covered about three inches. It is an autumn flower and retains its beauty in the fall months when the weather becomes cool. After flowering before hard frost, take up the roots, dry them, and remove the tops and keep in the cellar until spring, when they can be divided and replanted. The Snow dahlias are from three to four feet high. The dwarf, or bedding dahlias about twenty inches, and the pompon dahlias about three feet, mak- ing a compact growth. Our collection of dahlias embraces but the best va- rieties. Price, 15 cents each, ?1.50 per dozen, except where noted. Sliould stock of TOOts become exhaust- ed, we will send stron^r plants at 10 cents each. $1 per dozen. Decorative and Cactus Dahlias. BEAUTY OF ARUNDEL.
