Cactus Dahlias 



SO-CALLED from their resemblance to Cactus 

 flowers. They are characterized by long, nar- 

 row 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. 



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

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



COUNTESS OF LONSDALE — For perfection of bloom, erect- 

 ness of stem, abundance of flowei, this variety has ne\er 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. 



FLORADORA — Deep dark, rich wine-crimson, splendid shaped 

 flowers on long, upright wiry stem?. 



KALIF (New.) — The best red Cactus to date. O. K. in every 

 way. A wonder. 75 cents each. 



PRINCE OF YELLOWS — One of the best canary yellows for 

 cutting. 



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

 gseat 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 Springfield are a rich amaranthine-red. 

 Its beauty cannot be descrioed. 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.
