Dahlia—The different species of Dahlias compose as a whole one of the most showy classes of Autumn-flowering plants. Beginning to flower in August, they are a perfect mass of bloom until stopped by frost. We know of nothing more showy for table, mantel, or other large decoration than the different Dahlias properly arranged. All are of the easiest cultivation, delighting in a deep rich soil.
