CACTUS DAHLIAS 



So-called from their resemblance to Cactus flowers. They are characterized by long, narrow pointed, 



ubular and twisted petals of graded lengths, giving the flowers a striking and attractive appearance. Grand 



or cut flowers. 



Except where noted 20 cents each. 



ATTRACTION (The Purple Cactus) — Very beautiful form 1^. 



MIRORA — Very free flowering; reddish-apricot, suffused with flesh-pink, shad- 

 ing lighter at the tips. 35 cents each. 



3IANCA — A new Cactus Dahlia of large size and splendid form. Coloring is 

 beautiful rose-lilac with white shadings and bloom is held perfectly erect on 

 strong, stiff stems. Free-flowering. One of the most satisfactory garden 

 varieties, and one we can highly recommend. An early and continuous 

 bloomer. 60 cents each. 



CHARLES CLAYTON — The 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. 



COUNTESS OF LONSDALE — For perfection of bloom, erectness of stem, 

 abundance of flower, this variety has never yet been equaled. On several 

 of the plants we have counted over 150 perfect blooms on one plant. Is 



I there any other garden flower that can equal it? Color is a rich salmon- 

 pink, tinted apricot. 30 cents each. 



FLORA — The ideal white for cut flowers. Pure color, extremely free blooming. 



FLORODORA — Deep dark, rich wine-crimson splendid shaped flowers on 

 ! long, upright wiry stems. 



KALIF (Neu-.)— The best red Cactus to date. 

 75 cents each. 



0. K. in every way. A wonder. 



KRIEMHILDE— A most popular cut flower variety. Color a brilliant pink, 

 shading to white in the center. 



PRINCE OF YELLOWS — One of the best canary-yellows for cutting. 



Dahlia Floradora. 



QUEEN OF HEARTS (New.)— The best white Cactus ever introduced. 

 Pure white shading to lemon-yellow at base of the petals; very free bloomer. 



REINE CAYEAUX — Brilliant Geranium-red; early and free; a great favorite. 



RUTH FORBES (Hybrid.) — The massive, clear pink flowers, composed of 

 heavy petals, are often accompanied by stems measuring 2 feet in length; 

 excel any other variety for large vase purposes. 



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 salmon-pink as in Lonsdale, in Spring- 

 field are a rich amaranthine-red. Its beauty cannot be described. No 

 Dahlia blooms freer, no Dahlia is as pretty as Springfield. It lasts longer 

 cut than any Dahla we know. 35 cents.
