CHOICE CACTUS DAHLIAS 



(Continued) 



Mrs. Ethel F. T. Smith. Creamy white shading to 

 lemon at the centre. This is a close counterpart except 

 in color to Gladys Sherwood; the flowers are of the 

 same formation but still larger and not quite so deep 

 in the centre; a remarkable Dahlia. SI -00 each. 



Mrs. Warnaar. A splendid free-flowering variety of 

 creamy white, with just a faint apple-blossom suf- 

 fusion; flowers of gigantic size, on strong, stiff stems, 

 petals long and peculiarly twisted. Sl-OO each. 



Nibelung'enhort. This is always greatly admired, 

 with flowers composed of rather broad, more or 

 less curled and twisted petals of a beautiful shade 

 of old rose with golden-apricot suffusion. 75 cts. each. 



Picotee. Color of rich luminous crimson-carmine with 

 the reverse of petals 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 tipped with 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 all other sorts. 50 cts. each. 



Red Cross. Has been much in evidence and greatly 

 admired at the many exhibitions; it is a very large 

 golden yellow heavily suffused and marked with coral- 

 red; very free. SI. 00 each. 



Rev. T. W. Jamison. An exhibition flower, made up of 

 long, narrow, thread-like, incurved petals of a bright 

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



Rheinischer Frohsinn. A most distinct and refined variety. 

 The flowers are large, of splendid form; the long, incurving 

 petals are white at the base, but at about one-half their length 

 they become suffused with and change to a luminous carmine 

 rose. 75 cts. each. 



Rheinkoenig. A good white variety, with flowers of splendid 

 form, and borne on long stiff stems held well above the foliage, 

 of great substance, lasting well when cut. 50 cts. each. 



Rising Beauty. Flowers large on long straight stems and are 

 of the most brilliant carmine with scarlet suffusion, each petal 

 being tipped with golden-yellow, giving a rich color combination. 

 $1.50 each.
