FOURTEEN GRAND NEW 



CACTUS DAHLIAS. 



Every year brings the Cactus Dahlia more to the front iii 

 popular favor, and, considering their graceful beauty, compared 

 to the formal flowers of the old type, it is little wonder that 

 this type has been- so much developed during the past few 

 years, and not only has the hybridi/.er succeeded in giving us 

 new and exquisite foims and colors, but the varieties that are 

 now being introduced are much freer-l)looming. 



The collection here offered contains the latest novelties of 

 Eurpean introduction. All have been thoroughly tested on our 

 trial grounds the past summer, and we are certain will give 

 entire satisfattiun.

 a curious, irregularly built flower, and on account of this 

 unique form is well natned, the word Arachne meaning 

 spider. The petals are creamy white, edged with a broad 

 band of crimson. The coloring, however, varies as much as 

 the form, there rarely being two flowers alike. 50 cts. each.
