Cactus Dahlia. "NYMPH^a." 



This grand new Cactus Dahlia is without doubt the 

 most distinct variety I have ever introduced. The color 

 is a clear, distinct, light shrimp pink, shading slightly- 

 darker toward the outer petals. The inner petals are al- 

 most pure white; as the flower fades becomes decidedly 

 so, and does not show any signs whatever of a yellow 

 centre. The flower is of a most exquisite finish, soft, 

 waxy, delicate and graceful, and will keep perfect, when 

 cut, for several days. In its habit and growth it is also 

 distinct, resembling more a vigorous, well kept rose bush. 

 Strong Roots, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents.
