Cactus Dahlias 



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 attractive appearance. Grand for 

 cut flowers. 



Except Where Noted, 20 Cents Each; 3 for 55 Cents; 12 for $1.98. 



ATTRACTION (The Purple Cactus) — Very beautiful form. 

 AURORA — Very free flowering; reddish-apricot, suffused with 



flesh-pink, shading lighter at the tips. 35 cents each. 

 BIANCA — 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 ot 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, erect- 



ness 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 there any other garden 



flower that can equal it? Color is a rich salmon-pink, tinted 



apricot. 30 cents each ; 3 for 79 cents. 

 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. 

 KALI F (New.) — The best red Cactus to date. O. K. in every way. 



A wonder. 75 cents each. 

 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. 

 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. 



The Wonderful Cut Flower Variety SPRINGFIELD. 



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 Springfield 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 

 Dahlia we know. 35 cents each; 3 for 89 cents.
