R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.S SEED CATALOGUE. 



FARQUHAR'S NEW AND SELECT CACTUS DAHLIAS. 



What the Pseony is to the garden in May and the Rose in June — the Cactus Dahlia is from 



July until frost. Its unique elegance of form and the charming brilliancy of its surprising colors 



easily give it first rank among autumnal flowers for decorative usefulness, especially for table 



decoration. 



Note. — Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias will be supplied in roots, and we believe our supply this season 

 is ample to meet all demands. However, in case the demand for certain varieties exhausts our supply of roots, we 

 will send out growing plants which will give equally as good results. 



Each, .20; per doz., $2.00; per 100, $12.00; by mail, each, .25; per six, $1.25; per doz, $2.50.
