Cactus DAHLIA, —THOMAS CHALLIS. 
actus Dahlias 
Cactus dahlias are rapidly coming into favor on account of immense 
size, distinct and handsome colors, making them grand for cutting 
and all decorative purposes. The flowers are loosely and artistically 
formed, very irregular, resembling chrysanthemums; some have long 
twisted petals, terminating in a point; others are gracefully incurved, 
while some have nearly straight petals.
