Cactus Dahlias 
of Special Merit. 
A selection of twenty-five varieties made with a view of 
supplying the amateur with an assortment of Cactus sorts, 
which in our own experience we have found to be the freest- 
flowering under the most varied conditions of soil and cli- 
mate, and which can be depended upon to make an early 
and continuous display in the garden, and at the same time 
furnish an abundance of choice flowers for cutting. The 
varieties are all introductions previous to 1909, and have 
been under observation ample time to establish their superior 
qualities.
