looked out of the windows like two

NAMING OF THE DAHLIA.
Flower Consecrated to the Name Of
Dahl, Noted Swedish
Botanist.

Three names, closely united, were
those Of Josephine, Malmaison and the
Dahlia-the dahlia the link which con-
nected the other two, the dahlia, al
ways conspicuous in its beauty and the
glory Of the garden, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. King of the Autumn" 1t Is
called by the people Of the north and
the east and they dignity 1t with the
gracious name of Georgina, fearing that
it might be COMPOUNDED with the vegeta-
BILE plant, Dalea. josephine, wife Of
the first consul, gave to the French the
Dahlia. consecrated to the name OF
Dahl, the noted Swedish botanist, who
devoted much thought and care to its
culture.
About 100 years before the dahlia
was brought from Mexico to Spain,
where 1t fiourished but a short time.
when Madrid sent 1t as gift to Joseph
Inc. She received the precious bulbs
with delight and planted them, 1t is said,
with her own hands in the gardens at
Malmaison. And each morning she paid
visit to her flowers. All the noted
personages of the day were invited to
admire themy but not flower was given
to them. The flower belonged to NAL
maison, and was not to be taken from
Malmaison. 1t was Josephines own
flower She was both happy and proud
to possess what no other woman In
France could possess. From time to
time, she gathered large bouquets to
ornament the study of Napoleon and her
own reception rooms. She always knew
the number Of buds on each plant. One
morning she found that some were
missing. In fact that many were miss
ing, veritable ravage had taken place.
The head gardeners, the under garden
ers, the laborers in the park, were all
ordered to leave her service at once.
A Polish prince, by bribing one Of them
with gold. had obtained a hundred or
more dahlias, paying one louis for each
flower. After this Josephine wished to
see her flowers no more. She ordered
all the plants, which had been her great
joy, to be torn up by the roots and so
II was that the dahlia became the glory
Of all the gardens In France. Every
where king. Nature has showered upon
It her gifts. Handsome in form, of rich
foliage, beautiful. large and numerous
are its flowers with their glossy petals
like richest satin or velvet, OF delicious
colorings beautifully shaded, OF every
color except black, green or pure blue.
The seed of the dahlia had been sown
for years and years. over acres and acres
of ground, without producing single
blue flower Finally, one day, during
the reign Of Louis Philippe, there was
great excitement caused by the bloom
Ing Of a blue dahlia. All Paris rushed
to see and admire 1t. The lucky gardener
pocketed the promised prize, a large
sum of money. sold large number OF
the bulbs and disappeared. The fol-
lowing year the buds OF the famous
bulbs opened. but instead CT the beau
tiful blue, looked for, they were all
either yellow or red, to the great disap-
pointment of those who had paid the
enormous sum demanded by the gard
ener. On investigation It was discov-
cred that clever chemist had artifi-
cially colored the kings dahlia blue.
