SPLENDID " CACTUS " DAHLIAS. 



Maid of Kent. One of the grandest Dahlias ever introduced. 

 The ground color is a rich crimson, overlaid with intense 

 cherry red ; the tips of the petals are a pure snow-white ; 

 the contrast is startling, yet pleasing, and commands 

 admiration at first sight. 



Nymphaea. A beautiful variety of the " Cactus "type, broad 

 petals, delicate pink, shading to blush at the centre. A 

 very pretty variety. 



Beauty of Brentwood. Another grand new variety of an 

 entirely distinct color among Dahlias. It is difficult to 

 describe, but may be classed as a purple magenta of a pro- 

 nounced shade, very deep and rich. 



Mrs. J. Douglas. A distinct shade of pinkish salmon. 



A. W. Tait. Pure white, petals deeply toothed. 



Cochineal. Richest crimson scarlet, toned with a brownish 

 shade. 



Glare of the Garden. Intense scarlet ; very free-flowering. 



Lyndhurst. Dark, dazzling crimson scarlet. 



Mrs. Hawkins. Rich sulphur yellow, shading to light 

 canary toward tips. 



Wm. Pearce. Rich, sulphur yellow. 



Price, 20c. each ; set of 11 (including Black Prince) Splendid 

 Cactus Dahlias for $2.00. 



GAGTUS DAHLIA, " BLACK PRINCE." 



The flowers are rich maroon, of velvety texture ; the color 

 Is so intense as to be almost black. The size of the indi- 

 vidual flowers is something marvelous, being about twice as. 

 large as the ordinary kinds. The style of the flower is loose 

 and free from that rigidity so objectionable in others; the 

 florets are large, broad and rounded at the points. (See cut.) 

 Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.
