 Wacht am Rhein 



NEW CACTUS DAHLIAS 



of 1015 and 1916 Continued 



Rev. Alfred H. Lowe. A variety with large 

 well-built flowers of splendid incurved form of a 

 pure yellow with rosy suffusion at tips; an ideal 

 exhibition flower. Plants ready April 25th. §1.00 

 each. 

 Rheingraf. A pretty, medium-sized flower of a 

 tender mauve pink that developes its flowers in 

 sprays, a number of them expanding on the same 

 branch at one time. Plants ready April 25th. 

 50 cts. each. 

 Rheinkiesel. A splendidly formed, graceful flower 

 with long narrow petals on stiff, wiry stems well 

 above the foliage, of a lively carmine-rose color, 

 deepening towards the centre. 50 cts. each. 

 Rhein Nixe. A pure white, entirely distinct in 

 form from other white cactus varieties, and which 

 has shown a mass of flowers from early in the 

 season until cut by frost. We shall be surprised 

 if this does not prove to be the best white for 

 garden decoration. $1.00 each. 

 Rio Tints. Large, light, airy flowers borne on 

 stiff stems, of a novel tone of color, the centre 

 being lemon-yellow, passing to a yellow cadmium- 

 bronze at edges. 50 cts. each. 

 Robin. A miniature or pompon cactus variety, the small flow- 

 ers are of almost globular form and produced very freely, in 

 color, reminding one of the red of the robin's breast. Plants 

 ready April 25th. 50 cts. each. 

 Roland Garros. A fancy cactus of very large size on stiff wiry stems held well 

 above the foliage, ground color white, striped mauve and deep carmine. Plants 

 ready April 25th. 50 cts. each. 



Scorpion. A novelty in form, the petals are so incurved and in 



terlaced as to almost meet in the centre. The blooms are of med- 

 ium size, almost globular, of a clear light yellow. 50 cts. each. 

 Serenade. A dainty pleasing flower, a soft blending of rosy 



carmine and mauve passing to a soft-tinted white at the centre. 



Plants ready April 25th. 50 cts. each. 

 Sirene. A hybrid-cactus variety with the base of the petals very broad but taper 



ing to a long point, forming a star-like flower, which on account of its rosy-pink 



color, shading to an almost white centre, makes it a most 



desirable cut flower. 50 cts. each. 

 Souvenir de Francheviile. A large free-flowering 



salmon-rose with butter-yellow centre, a pleasing soft 



color combination. Plants ready April 25th. 50 cts. each.

petals shaded rose, most perfect in form, good substance 



and freely borne on wiry stems. Plants ready April 25th. 



50 cts. each. 

 The Quaker. A much admired variety, a delicate blend- 

 ing of white and soft flesh-pink, an abundant, free bloomer. 



Plants ready April 25th. SI. 00 each. 

 Ulysse. An appealing combination of salmony-rose with 



golden-yellow suffusion. Petals broad, curling at the) 



tips, flowers of excellent quality, admired by all who \ 



have seen it. Plants ready April 25th. Si. 00 each. 

 Unique. Large, deep, attractive blooms of a deep red 



tipped with white. Plants ready April 25th. 50 cts. each.

 amaranth, very free and borne on stiff wiry stems. Plants 



ready April 25th. 50 cts. each. 

 Wacht am Rhein. In offering this variety last year we de- 

 scribed it as the most beautiful cactus variety offered in 1915; 



another season's trial has proven all that we claimed for it, 



it is an introduction of the same grower who gave us such 



important sorts as Wolfgang von Goethe, Wodan, Rhein- 



koenig, Nerthus, Nibelungenhort, Walkuere, Mondscheibe, 



etc., and it is a creditable companion to these superior sorts. A most gracefully 



formed flower, of large size, on splendid stems for cutting, and of an ideal soft rosy- . 



pink color with white suffusion. 75 cts. each. 

 Warrior. Soft salmon at the edges, shading to deep mauve-rose at the centre with a golden 



suffusion. 35 cts. each. 

 Special Offer. We will supply one each of the 81 New Cactus Dahlias of 1915 and 1916 



offered on pages 133 to 136 for $40.00. 



Rosa Lepori. Good-sized flowers composed of long incurving 

 petals of a most pleasing shade of light mauve, splendid free 

 habit. Plants ready April 25th. 50 cts. each. 



Rosennyrrphe. A broad petalled variety, reminding one in 

 form of a Water Lily, in color a delicate flesh color, shading 

 to a soft rosy white. 50 cts. each.
