.-T L
Ely a curious irony. the dahlia flower.
popular at the flower shows, is of very
humble origin. 1t has been developed
from the Mexican tubers. Some century
and a half & this plant was intro
duced into Europe by the Swedish
botanist, DR.. Dahl, for the purely COM
nercial purposes of s%upplanting or sup
prove popular and the dahlia dish soon
disappeared from the dinner tables of
Europe, but the gardeners saw the lat
emit possibilities of the flower, from
which they have evolved the double
dahlia and other popular floral fancies.
It would thus appear that the dahlia
had reversed the fate Of the red clover,
which was originally introduced as a
garden flower. but was found to be
much more desirable as a fine forage.
The tubers of the dahlia, though bitter,
are still eaten in some parts Of France.
