Especially fine for cut- flowers. \\e know ot nothing more showy for table decoration than a loo<;ely arranged bouquet of long-stemmed Cactus or Single Dahlias. Culture.—"\A'hile it is one of the easiest of all flowers to cultivate, it by no means follows that it needs no attention. In fact, no flower will give such generous response to good cultivation. Deep and thorough stirring of the soil during the early growth of the plant is indispensable, but later in the season irequent surlace cultivation only should be given. Plant in an open, sunny situation, at least -svhere the sun reaches them the greater portion of the day. It is a rank feeder, and should have well-enriched soil; keep free from grass and weeds. Cultivation should cease when the blooms appear ; simply water regularly in dry weather. Plant the bulbs two or three feet apart, aci-ording to size and habit of the plant, about four inches below the surface of the ground, laying the bulb on its side. Varieties growing three feet or more in height should be tied to stakes to prevent falling over. Plnnt about the first of May iu this latitude, or when the ground has become warm. Winter Protection.—As soon as the frost has killed the foliage, the roots should be carefully taken from the ground and the soil shaken from among them ; must be stored away in a cool place, not too dry, but secure from frost. Filling' Orders.—We send dormant roots as soon as weather vnll permit, up to about May 1st, after which we send good pot-grown plants. DAHLIAS—STANDARD VARIETIES. A. D. Liyoni—Most perfect
