Cactus Dahlia, Cinderella 

 Gladys Bates. Very large perfect flowers, with incurved petals 

 of a golden salmon, the reverse of the petals being rose, the two 

 colors giving the effect of a golden old rose. It is an early, free 

 and continuous bloomer with exceptionally good stems, one of 

 the most popular garden decorative varieties. $1.00 each. 



Gladys Sherwood. A wonderful white. We have seen flowers 

 over 10 inches in diameter composed of long curling petals of 

 glistening white forming a flower of unusual depth, these 

 giant flowers are held erect on strong stems and are produced 

 in wonderful profusion. $1.00 each. 



Grisette. Size large; form, stem, color and freedom of bloom 

 ideal. The flowers are composed of rolled, wavy, heavy, but not 

 coarse petals which broaden out towards the tips forming a most 

 substantial flower of a rich old-gold; flushed with salmon-pink; 

 good for all purposes. $3.00 each. 



Halo. Of beautiful formation, the petals being curled and 

 twisted which lends a peculiar gracefulness to this large bloom 

 which in color is a brilliant tyrian rose with deeper shadings at 

 the centre with a velvety appearance that intensifies and gives 

 fire and life to it not found in any other sort. $1.50 each. 



Helen Durnbaugh. The flowers, while not gigantic, are of 

 good size, very double, of splendid form, the petals being cleft 

 at the tips adds to its graceful appearance; it is early and free, 

 held erect on good stiff stems; in color it is of a delicate blush 

 deepening to a glowing but soft rose towards the center. 75 cts. 

 each. 



Jonkheer G. F. van Tets. The freest flowering good sized 

 white cactus, coming into bloom very early and continuing in 

 good shape to the end of the season, the flowers consist of long 

 incurving petals forming a somewhat Chrysantbemum-like 

 bloom. $1.50 each. 



CHOICE CACTUS DAHLIAS 



(Continued) 



Kalif . A truly majestic flower, of perfect Cactus form, in color 



a pure scarlet. The habit of the plant is all that can be desired ; 



the gigantic flowers, produced very freely, are held on strong 



stiff stems, making it a most effective and useful variety for 



cutting as well as for garden decoration. 75 cts. each. 



Lolita Velasco. There are many good white Cactus 



Dahlias and all of them have some distinctive merit of 



their own. We should hesitate to designate any one of 



them as the best white on all points, but if we had to 



select one individual sort, we would take this splendid 



variety which is composed of long straight petals which 



form into a flower of perfect shape, borne on long stiff 



stems, fine for cutting and for exhibition. $3.00 each. 



Marathon. Entirely distinct from aU other cactus 



varieties; a brilliant rich purple illuminated with 



higher, brighter shadings. 50 cts. each. 



Marguerite Bouchon. Beautiful in form and 

 color, a good sized flower of a charming shade of 

 brilliant, yet soft rose-pink with a large white centre 

 and distinctly defined white tips, entirely distinct. 

 75 cts. each. 



Meesterstuck. One of the most distinct and attrac- 

 tive varieties of this type. The flowers are perfect 

 in formation, large but graceful, they are held erect 

 on long stiff stems, color a rich glowing French 

 purple with briUiant aniline-red suffusion, which is in- 

 tensified by the citron-yellow base of the petals which 

 give the flower a bicolored appearance that is quite 

 novel. 75 cts. each. 



Mme. Victor Cayeux. A very large but most grace- 

 fully formed flower, of a pleasing orange chrome with 

 golden suffusion, one of the best autumn tints. The 

 flowers are held chrysanthemum-like on long stiff stems, 

 splendid for cutting. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. Alfred Harvey. Of the many English Cactus 

 varieties introduced, comparatively few have provensatis- 

 factory or found a permanent place in our gardens. Mrs. 

 Alfred Harvey is one of the exceptions, it has good wiry stems 

 that hold the flowers erect, it is early and free flowering, 

 of large size and in color a beautiful light salmon-pink, 

 with deeper shadings at the base of the petals. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. Ethel F. T. Smith. Creamy white shading to lemon 

 at the centre. This is a close counterpart except in color to 

 Gladys Sherwood; the flowers are of the same formation but 

 still larger and not quite so deep in the centre; a remarkable 

 Dahlia. $1.00 each. 



Mrs. Warnaar. A splendid free-flowering variety of creamy 

 white, with just a faint apple-blossom suffusion; flowers of 

 gigantic size, on strong, stiff stems, petals long and peculiarly 

 twisted. $1.00 each. 



Nemrod. A beautlfuUy formed flower, of large size, constructed 

 of long curled wavy petals forming a high centre. Color distinct 

 and very attractive, a brilliant tyrian-rose with luminous metal- 

 lic suffusion, perfect stems hold the flowers well above the plant. 

 $1.50 each. 



Nibelungenhort. This is always greatly admired, with 

 flowers composed of rather broad, more or less curled and 

 twisted petals of a beautiful shade of old rose with golden-apricot 

 suffu.^ion. 75 cts. each. 



Papillon. One of the largest of this type, which seems a greatly 

 improved Geo. Walters, it is a beautiful blending of old rose with 

 golden lights. An early and incessant bloomer with strong, 

 long stems that carry the flower well, an exceptionally fine ex- 

 hibition variety. $2.00 each. 



Picotee. Color of rich luminous crimson-carmine with the 

 reverse of petals a silvery white color, the petals being fluted 

 on the ends; this reverse side presents itself in such a manner so 

 as to give the flowers the appearance of being tipped with white. 

 75 cts. each.
