D. gracilis ignca, with still more narrowly cut butess distinctly serrated foliage, and producing brilliantiery orange-scarlet florets. but with the flower-heads of a chrome-yellow. Someother seedlings of the present year are very distinctand promising, but require further trial. There is in cultivation a Dahlia called gracilis per-fecta, which scarcely comes into this category. If aseedling of D. gracilis at all, it must have been cf the cutting of that of D. gracihs. To avoid confu-jion with the true gracilis type, we should suggest itsbeing hereafter grown under its name of perfecta(omitting gracilis), a name which it very well has been in cultivation for
