DAHLIA PLANTING SEASON.
Present Day Types Brought to Ex-
cellence by Culture.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Now that the dahlia planting season Is
at hand interest In this popular flower
will be revived and all lovers Of the
dahlia will be interested to know that
our gorgeous types were all brought up
to their present standard Of excellence by
the untiring efforts Of the plant breeder.
In 1884 Vincent Cervantes. director of
the botanical garden In the City OF Mex
leo, sent to Cavanlles. the director Of the
Madrid botanical garden. a plant un-
known to botaniStS. 1t was tall, spindly
affair." with nodding little flowers. each Of
rounded by five or six red or orange
petals. Cavanilles called it dahlia, in
honor of the recently deceased Swedish
botanist, Dahl. But when the plant came
to Germany. where the name dahlia had
already been given to another plant, the
botanist Wildenow conferred upon the
newcomer the name Georgina, by which
name it has been universally known In
Germany until within recent years. This
name was given in honor, not Of George
Ill of England. as has been commonly
assumed. but of Russian explorer
named Georgi Dahlias were great rari-
ties in Europe until Humboldt and Bon
pland brought back a quantity of seed
on their return from Mexico.
Botanists and gardeners soon noticed
the extraordinary facility with which the
color of the flowers could be varied, and
their interest increased when the first
double dahlia was produced in 1903. Then
arose a keen rivalry in the production OF
new varieties OF form and color among
the English and German florists. Prizes
amounting to hundreds OF dollars were
offered for the finest new sorts. In Ger
many as recently as the seventies three
or four dollars was sometimes paid for
one flower.
The English florist took the lead in the
development Of the dahlia until about
1895. after which they were hard pressed
by the Germans. In 1885 one OF the lat
ter exhibited 200 varieties, mostly Of his
own production. Alexander Won Hum
boldt, who had watched the dahlia's trt-
umphal progress with keen interest, was
astounded by the effect OF cultivation on
the one-time modest field flower OF
Mexico.
The florists lists Of thirty years ago
contained about 1900 varieties Of dahlias,
and the whole number of varieties pro-
duced UP to the present time is between
5000 and 5000. These are not all In ex-
istence, however. as many even Of the
most celebrated soon die out Today the
different types Of dahlias have reached q
higher degree Of perfection than ever be-
fore. and the present-day dahlias are in
deed a work Of art, for few would be-
lieve it possible that such grand results
could be obtained from such . lowly

TO THE PILGRIM FATHERS.
Southampton, Eng, Planning to Es-
tablish a Memorial.

From the British Congregstinnalist.
Southampton Is proposing to establish Q

rather late in the day. and as the appeal
issued by the memorial committee says.
II is amaznG that an event of such his
torical Importance should have been left
so long without any memorial The year
1920 will be the tercentenary. but South
ampton does not propose To wait another
eleven years. 1t will he remembered that.
although the final embarkation was from
Plymouth, where the pilgrims had put
back through the unscund state Of the
Speedwell, yet first start was made from
Southampton. John Alden, too. was a
Southampton man. a cooper 10y trade and
having been hired there to help tit out
the ships. he was invited To join the emil
grant band A strong committee has been
formed. with the mayor of Southampton
as treasurer. and DIR. Hezrnshaw Of the
Hartley University College as secretary.
and an appeal is made which. II is hoped.
will meet with a response from both sides
of the Atlantic. The exact form of the
memorial will depend. of course. upon the
contributions. but a monument on the
quay, a Pilgrim Father Museum or Pill
grim Father wing to the Hartley College
have been suggested.

Young Housewife Finds Annoyances

had my first taste Of the pestiferous
village tradespeopie. We got out of
the city for rest and comfort. but will
have neither until these persons who
have things to sell make up their minds
to let us run our own business.
.'They wouldn't even let us get the
furniture in the house. There was 1
very early nthe morning in an empty
house waiting for the vans to come and
unload and the bell began to ring. 1t
kept ringing all that day and for some
days thereafter. Not continuously. of
course, but the tradespeople came so
close on each others heels that there
was very little let-up.
First 1t was one milkman. then another
milkman and soon thereafter third.
They seemed to take 1t as personal
insult that wouldn't give an order forth
with.
"Icemen came in droves. The grocers
appeared with blank order books all
ready to hang on our kitchen door. They
wanted to deliver goods right off despite
the fact that there wasn't q thing in the
house to put them in.
Later in the day when the furniture
had arrived and We got things into some
and made a few casual purchases. Now
in each store they seemed to take it for
granted that had become their customer
for life.
"I'H send around In the morning for
your order,' was what I heard In every
place, and when I said they needn't, that
I intended to do my own ordering in per-
son each day it made no difference

The worst shock came on Sunday
morning. We were. all tired out with the

to sleep late. very late: but before !
there was a persistent ringing of the bell.
My husband wrapped himself in bath
robe and descended. 1t was boy who
wanted our order for newspapers. He

During the last campaign an "old
