Book Description
Excerpt from Dahlias and Their Cultivation: A Practical Treatise on the History, Culture, and Propagation of the Show, Fancy, Cactus, Pompon, and Single Dahlias for Exhibition and Garden Decoration; With Hints on Staging and Judging the Flowers, Also Selections of Varieties for All Pruposes Whatever may be said in depreciation of the double dahlia in the matter of lack of refinement, there is one thing certain, it is pre-emmently a show flower. It is, in comparison to the rose or carnation, what the ruddy-faced country maiden is to the Venus de Milo but its mechanical symmetry, so dis tasteful to the artistic feeling, is in many a dahlia judge's estimation a point in its favour. Its large size, rich and varied colours, together with its comparative adaptability to a smoky atmosphere, make it a great favourite amongst dahlia showers in the North. It will not be long either before it again pushes itself into fashion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is, in comparison to the rose or carnation, what the ruddy-faced country maiden is to the Venus de Milo; but its mechanical symmetry, so distasteful to the artistic feeling, is in many a dahlia judge's estimation a point in its favour. Its large size, rich and varied colours, together with its comparative adaptability to a smoky atmosphere, make it a great favourite amongst dahlia showers in the North. It will not be long either before it again pushes itself into fashion. The advent of the cactus variety has, however, considerably annulled the artistic strictures of the objectors to the double dahlia. For some time after its introduction the cactus form was looked upon as an abortion, devoid of "work," form, and finish; but the wonderful improvements brought about by the florist have now worn down all prejudice, and it stands to-day a flower of grace and beauty, either for decoration, or for tests of cultural skill on the show board.

Dahlias for the Home
Author: Benjamin Yoe Morrison
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Dahlias
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
No flower is more important in the garden during the late summer and autumn than the dahlia. Its needs are simple and its returns many and generous. If grown in a situation open to sunlight and fresh air but not swept by the winds and if provided with a well-worked fertile soil, neither overwatered nor parched, the dahlia will provide an abundance of beautiful blooms for cutting or garden display. The forms and color variations of the flowers furnish so great a range that almost any personal taste or fancy can be gratified. Dahlias are obtained from nurseries as dormant roots or as growing plants which have been raised from cuttings. Plants may be raised from seed, however. After the season's growth the plants are dug, the tops cut off, and the roots dried off and stored until the following spring in a dark, dry frost-proof cellar. They are then ready to be started into growth and divided into as many pieces as desired or as there are new shoots starting."--Page ii
