_Editor Mayflower:_
I must tell you of an experience I had in transplanting a Dahlia, which
was in bloom, the last day of July. Driving out one warm morning I saw a
family moving out of a house. Seeing a clump of beautiful Dahlias I
asked for one. The lady said she did not think I could do anything with
it, but I knew I could try. She took it up with an old tuber attached
and two young ones. I put it in a well protected place where it was cool
and kept it well watered. It grew and continued to bloom. When taken up
in the fall there were three tubers. That was two years ago. I still
have some of it now.--_Mrs. Philetus Wakefield._
