CACTUS DAHLIAS. 



The cactus forms of dahlias are exceedingly beautiful and are 

 hard to excel. They have long twisted petals and embrace nearly all 

 the colors found in other types. 



This is a selection of varieties made with a view of supplying the 

 amateur with an assortment of Cactus sorts, which we have found to be 

 the freest-flowering under the most varied conditions of soil and climate- 

 Blooms early and are very useful for cut flowers.
