Choice Cactus Dahlias 



(Continuedj 



Mrs. Henry R. Wirth. Of true Cactus form and one of the 

 earliest and freest-blooming varieties in the collection; 

 color a most intense brilliant scarlet. 75 

 cts. each. 



Mrs. W. E. Estes. This is one of the great 

 favorites on the Pacific coast and has also 

 been frequently shown at the exliibitions 

 throughout the country. It is a pure snowy 

 white hybrid cactus of large size, with more 

 or less curled and twisted petals forming an 

 attractive graceful flower on long stems, held 

 well above the foliage. SI -00 each. 



Nibelung-enhort. This is always greatly 

 admired, with flowers from 7 to 8 inches 

 across, composed of rather broad, more or 

 less, curled and twisted petals of a beautiful 

 shade of old rose with golden-apricot suffusion. 

 Very free-flowering on long stems. 75 cts. each. 



Picotee. One of our own introductions and 

 entirely distinct from all other Cactus varie- 

 ties. While the flowers are not of unusual size, measur- 

 ing about 5 inches in diameter, they are of splendid form 

 and graceful appearance. The color of the petals is a rich 

 luminous crimson-carmine with the reverse of 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 variegated or ripped wth 

 white. 75 cts. each. 



Pierrot. A unique and striking color, and of unusual grace, 

 being composed of very long, narrow tubular petals, which 

 are of a deep amber color, usually showing white tips, but even 

 when it comes a self color without these tips it possesses an 

 individual refinement different from aU other sorts. A wonderful 

 exhibition flower and a splendid garden variety. 50 cts. each. 



Record. Rich oriental-red, very effective. 50 cts. each. 



Red Cross. Has been much in evidence and greatly admired at 

 the many exhibirions; it is a verj' large golden yellow heavily 

 suffused and marked with coral-red; very free. $1.50 each. 



Rev. T. W. Jamison. An exhibition flower of large size, made 

 up of long, narrow, thread-hke, incurved petals of a bright 

 mauve-pink, flluminated with salmon at the base. 35 cts. each.

 rose, the two colors combining harmoniously in forming a most 

 attractive flower. 75 cts. each.
