The great spikey blooms of cactus, pompon and decorative dahlias put on a spectacular summer show. These tall growing bulb flowers are especially pop- ular among home gardeners both for the display they create in garden borders and their long-life as cut flowers. Dahlias are at their peak in August and September. In fact, they will go on flowering prolifically through early autumn, until the first frosts chill the air.

Unlike many other bulb flowers, no one has been able to hybridize dahlias to bloom beyond their natural flowering period. That is why they are only avail- able for a few short months. In addition, due to the large amount of space the plants require in shipping and the fact that their fragility makes them suscepti- ble to damage in transport, dahlias are rarely cultivated by professional growers. So, cut dahlia bouquets remain largely the preserve of avid home gardeners. 3m LINDA TlNO-ZYLIK" RICHARD IANN' PAT KNOX" we $183,900 GLEN ABBEY DREAM! 7 51977100 BASK IN THE SUN!

It was Anders Dahl - the Swedish botanist in whose honor the flower was name - who did the most to cross various plant lines and create new form in the 18th century.
