Dahlias and Their Cultivation by J. B. Wroe Pdf

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.
