plants. We grow and sell fifteen acres of Dahlias each year. 
CACTUS DAHLIA 
So-called from their resemblance to Cactus flowers. They 
are characterized by long, narrow, pointed, tubular and twisted 
petals of graded lengths, giving the flowers a striking and at- 
tractive appearance. Grand for cut flowers. Evcept where 
noted, [5 cents each. The entire set of twelve Cactus Dahlias 
costing $2.50, for $2.00. 
AMOS PERRY—The best bright scarlet Cactus to date. Color 
purest flaming-scarlet, with long, narrow twisted petals of 
irregular formation. The blooms are borne well above the 
foliage in the utmost profusion. Certainly a beauty. 25 cents. 
AURORA—Very free flowering; reddish-apricot suffused with 
flesh-pink shading lighter at the tips. 25 cents. 
CHARLES CLAYTON—tThe strongest words of praise are not 
extravagant when applied to this wonderful new Cactus. It 
is the ideal in color, form, length of stem and general good 
habits, beyond which it would seem little could be hoped for. 
The color is a most intense crimson, so vivid as to dazzle 
the eye; superb. 20 cents. 
COUNTESS OF LONSDALE—For perfection of bloom, erect- 
ness of stem, abundance of fiower, this variety has never yet 
been equaled. On several of the plants we have counted 
over 150 perfect blooms on one plant. Is there any other 
garden flower that can equal it? The color is a rich salmon- 
pink tinted apricot. 20 cents. 
COUNTRY GIRL—Base of petals golden-yellow suffused with 
salmon-rose or old gold, which is deepest at the tips of petals. 
FLORADORA—Deep, dark, rich wine-crimson, splendid shaped 
flowers on long upright wiry stems. Habit ideal of perfection. 
J. H. JACKSON—This is without doubt the finest dark Cac- 
tus Dahlia. Its velvety black crimson-maroon shade is very 
striking. Large and perfect. 
KRIEMHILDE—A most popular cut flower variety. 
brilliant pink shading to white in the center. 
PRINCE OF YELLOWS—One of the best canary-yellows for 
cutting. 
REV. ARTHUR T. BRIDGE—The colorings in this variety are 
extremely handsome, being a bright clear yellow, heavily 
tipped and_ suffused with deep rose-pink. 25 cents. 
RHEINKONIG—(Translated the Rhine King.) Pure snow- 
white flowers of splendid form; five inches and over in diam- 
eter, of fine lasting qualities when cut. A fine garden Dahlia. 
25 cents. 
SPRINGFIELD—A new Dahlia of our own introduction. It is 
identical with Countess of Lonsdale except in two essentials. 
It has a darker stem and the flowers instead of being a sal- 
mon-pink as in Lonsdale, Springfield is a rich amaranthine- 
red. Its beauty cannot be described. No Dahtia blooms 
freer, no Dahlia is as pretty as Springfield. It lasts longer 
cut than any Dahlia we know. 35 cents. 
DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
These come next to the Cactus as a cut flower. They are 
also very showy in the garden, being unusually free bloomers. 
They are more formal in make-up than the Cactus Dahlias, 
but not as formal as the Show varieties, being a happy medium 
between the two. Except where noted, 15 cents each. The en- 
tire set of twelve Decorative Dahlias, costing $2.35, for $1.90. 
BLACK BEAUTY—Deep velvety maroon, the blackest of all 
Dahlias. 20 cents.

together with its shape makes it one of the prettiest and 
most valuable of all Dahlias. 25 cents.

lavender-blue, an extremely early and profuse bloomer.

counterpart among Roses, the famous “‘General Jack.”

able for cutting, Large, perfectly formed, double to the cen- 
ter, with long stems. Charming.

bloomer. This we consider one of the best ten Dahlias.

the ends of the petals with red, the tips pointed with bright 
violet-red. 20 cents.
