no telling how much enjoyment will
be had out of them.
No matter what degree of care may
have been taken with them or how
much money may have been spent,
the dahlia fades with the first nip of
winter frost"
Nevertheless more Americans OF
wealth are growing dahlias every year.
Theodore Havemeyer, who began
some time ago to devote his time and
money to these flowers, has produced
beautiful blooms in his gardens at
Hampstead. Mrs. G.. S. Hubbard at
her country home, Twin Oaks, near
Washington, wins prizes with the
wonderful exhibits that her gardener
sends to the autumn flower shows, and
Charles Stewart Smith has been one
of the most successful exhibitors this
fall, sending beautiful specimens from
his Stamford home. Among amateur
growers none is more successful than

ne " pes represented III Inc plC-
lures are of the show dahlia which is
the term used to describe all the self
colored and shaded dahlias, and the
pompon, which are the usual varieties
of the flower, although professional
growers recognize others. Fashions
change in the dahlias just as they do
in other flowers and it was the cactus
dahlia that interested growers after
the cult of the flower became fad.
There has been a noticeable ten
dency this year to return to the older
form of the flower as the fayorite, al
though it is with the cactus dahlia
that the novelties are possible. The
cactus dahlia has been known to
growers much longer than amateurs
suppose.
These dahlias were grown in Eng
land as early as 1880 and had been
sent from Mexico to Holland eight
years before. The roots were named
in honor of President Juarez of Mex
leo. and these early plants were called
after him. 1t was from this Mexican
root that all the fancy dahlias grown
to-day were developed.
The pompom dahlia, which is the
kind most ordinarily seen in gardens
came first from Germany, where a
Baden florist succeeded in getting a
double type from the ordinary red
dahlia. These are the smallest of the
commercial dahlias. They are most
popular with those possessing gardens

Oraan ZOO Years Old.

William C. Carl brought back with
him from Japan pipe organ of an
cient make which he believes will
prove a revelation to modern instru.
ment builders.
The organ is 700 years old, but, not.
withstanding this fact, embodies prac.
tically all the Improvements which
present day builders regard as new.
The pipes are of bamboo, and the in
strument is in good state of preser-
walton. Mr.. Carl also brought home
large collection of Japanese music
arranged in modern notation. Pre-.
vious to thirty years ago, he says, all
the native music was handed down
from one generation to another in
characters, but since the establish
ment of an academy at Toxic a great
impetus has been given to all classes
of music, and more than COO students
were in attendance at that institution
when Mr.. Carl visited it.-Seattle

Your Photo on Apples.

Pictures are the latest novelty
which the hostess of a country home
offers her weekend guests. With 3
small camera she takes pictures OF
beautiful bits of landscape, and after
the film is developed, it is stuck, with
surgeons plaster, on green apples as
they hang on the tree. AS the apples
ripen and turn red the picture is
printed on the green surface and the
picture apple is produced.
Sometimes the hostess sticks little
negatives Of her guests on the apples
and then presents them with the ap.
pie bearing their own likeness. For
an outdoor dinner she has place APP
PIES" which are made by cutting out
the initials of each guest and pasting
them on the green apples exactly as
the films are pasted on, and when the
apples turn red and are ripe, the in
itials stand out in green. These she
uses for her informal out-of-doors din
ner instead of place cards.
