Bulbs should be dried down and stored in a warm place during the Wintei. They should be started into growth in a warm place by February 1st. Each, 20c; 6 varieties, $ postpaid. DAHLIAS. Culture.—Plant the roots from March to the end of May in rich ground, but not in fresh manure ; se- lect the highest place in the garden for them, as they are sure to die in wet ground. As soon as the shoots are about a foot high, pinch the head off to make the plant more bushy. When the ground is low they must be planted on ridges four feet apart each way, and a ditch made between each double row. Prices include postage. If flowers are wanted during summer, one pinching Gloxinia—French Tigred and Spotted. is sufficient. Most people, however, plant Dahlias for All Saints' Day. In this case the pinching of shoots must be repeated several times, but not later than August; they will then be in full bloom for No- vember White Dahlia, Snow Clad.
