J. Murray Bassett welcomed Arthur A. . Niessen and Phil at the station at Ham- monton, N. J., on the occasion of our visit last week, and drove us to his home in the heart of the dahlia fields. Mr. Bas- sett has ten acres planted in dahlias, all in nice condition, showing excellent culti- vation, and scrupulously clean. He lim- its his varieties to those that he believes best for cut flowers and for garden planting, keeping the number down to perhaps 100 sorts despite the increase in acreage. The ramble through the dahlia fields with Mr. Bassett was full of in- terest. He has ideas, and carries them out consistently. Pink Pearl Mr. Bassett believes to be one of the finest, if not the finest, pink dahlia for cuttitig, even better than Kriemhilde. Some specimen flowers shown were remarkable, despite the drought, for size and brilliancy of color. In yellow Mr. Bassett considers Mrs. Cliflford W. Bruton as the best. Its draw- back is that a certain percentage come semi-double, marring their beauty. A coming rival for supremacy in the yellows is Yellow Queen, a magnificent flower of decorative type. In white. Flora ranks high. Sylvia is largely grown for cutting, the color being such a beautiful combination of pink and white. Souvenir de Gustave Douzon ranks high as a deep rich red. Among the French collarette varieties Mr. Bassett considers Pres. Viger, with white collar and yellow stamens, in a class by itself. Lindhurst Mr. Bassett considers the standard red. Among the other varieties of special interest there were noted two kinds of Aurora, one a golden yellow, decorative type, the other a bronze salmon, cactus type. Cardinal is a fine single of the Century type, the color being described by its name'; the flowers stand up beau- tifully over the plant. Yellow Prince is a fine variety of jthe cactus type. Lovely is a unique shadte of pink. Countess of Lonsdale, a cactus bronze-salmon, is unique. * Jack Rose will be introduced by Mr. Bassett's father in two years. It is a striking variety; its name exactly de- scribes its appearance, an immense Gen. Jacqueminot rose. Whether this variety will survive in the fierce competition in the cut flower market remains to be seen; its health and showiness seem to insure it
