"Diamond Anniversary"Collection of Cactus Dahlias 



After another season's test we can fully endorse our last year's descripiion of this fine collection, ns follows: " Six perfect gems 

 which we have selected from our extensive collection to place in a class \>y themselves on account of their beautiful colors, form 

 and freedom of bloom. They have been a feature in our fields during the past two years; have been admired by every visitor, 

 and we offer thera with the full assurance thai our patrons will be as well pleased with them as we are." 



Galathea. A medium-sized flower of splendid form, especially 



appreciated on account of its delicate color, which is an even, 



tender soft pink. rtO cts. each. 

 Mrs. Henry R. Wirth. We have, for many years, recom- 

 mended Countess of Lonsdale as the Dahlia for the million, 



on account of its free-flowering habit and the fact that every 



flower which it produces is perfect. We have in Mrs. Wirth 



a splendid companion, it being the first Cactus variety in our 



fields to flower and continues covered with perfect flowers until 



the end of the season. It is an intense, rich, glowing, fiery 



scarlet in color. 50 cts. each. 

 ^Marguerite Bouchon. W'e have no hesitancy in saying that 



this is the most beautiful Cactus Dahlia yet introduced. It is 



of absolutely perfect form; every flower on a good stem well 



above the foliage; color a magnificent shade of brilliant, yet 



soft rose, with verv large white centre and distinctly defined 



white tips. 75 cts. each. 



Mons. Sexe. P"Iowers of perfect form, about four inches in 

 diameter and of a rich oriental-red, which is tipped and more 

 or less marked and suffused with old-gold. Splendid for 

 garden decoration. 3o cts. each. 



Thais. The rather broad petals, which are loosely arranged, 

 make up an informally shaped flower which, on account of its 

 color, a pure white with a soft mauve suflusion whicli is dejios- 

 ited over the snowy petals like a dew, makes it one of the 

 most delicately colored sorts which we have yet offered. !■> 

 cents, each. 



Tricolor. Everybody likes Tricolor on account of its distinct 

 and beautiful medley of colors. The ground is buttercup- 

 yellow, with a blotch of scarlet on each petal, and as the 

 flower matures the end of each petal becomes sutTused with 

 rosy-white, forming a pretty tii-colored coraljination. 50 cts. 

 each. 



One each of the six "Diamond Anniversarv" sorts for ^iS.OO. 



Tricolor. 



Galathfa. 



Mons. Sexe
