CHOICE CACTUS DAHLIAS

Gladys Sherwood. The introducer describes this as a 

 giant among pygmies when compared with other whites of 

 this type. It is truly a wonderful Dahlia. 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. It is 

 unequaled for garden decoration or for exhibition.

form and exceptionally free-flowering. 35 cts. each.

Helen Durnbaugh. Everybody is pleased with this. 

 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 and the 

 flowers are held erect on good stiff stems; in color it is of a 

 delicate blush deepening to a glowing but soft rose 

 towards the center. $1.00 each. 



J. Edwin Watkis. A dainty fair-sized graceful cut 

 flower of perfect form, the base of the petals sulphur

 over 9 inches in diameter, of perfect Cactus form, in 

 color a pure scarlet. The habit of the plant is all that
