Mrs. Hawkins. 
Cactus Dahlias. 
A very showy and effective section of this desirable gar- 
den flower. The blooms are of peculiar shade, resembling 
in some varieties the Cactus “Cereus Speciosissimus.”’ 
Hence the name, ‘“‘ Cactus Dahlia.”’ They grow from 38 to 4 
feet high, are very branching, and bear profusely their 
very striking flowers, which are quite unlike those of an 
ordinary double Dahlia, the florets being flat and not 
cupped. 
Cochineal. Brilliant crimson, toned maroon. 
Constance, or Ariel. Pure white, of elegant shape, 
and one of the freest blooming. 
Empress of India. An intense deep crimson, shaded 
maroon and magenta; the flowers are of medium size 
and borne in profusion. 
Fire King (Glare of the Garden). Fiery crimson scarlet, 
flowers of medium size and produced in profusion, 
giving the plant a rich and dazzling appearance. 
Formosissima Picta. Orange color with bright scarlet 
stripes; a distinct and taking flower. 
Juarezi. A grand and distinet variety. Large flowers 
of rich erimson-searlet color. 
Lyndhurst. Rich deep scarlet, shaded maroon, excellent 
for cutting and a fitting companion for Constance. 
Mrs. Hawkins. Of close, neat habit, rich sulphur 
yellow, shading lighter towards the tips and slightly 
tinted red; a lovely flower. 
Mrs. Vait. A peculiar and pretty Dahlia, somewhat 
resembling Juarezi, and is a fine improvement on 
Constance or Ariel in its whiteness and serrated form 
and appearance, and must become a general favorite 
for cut flowers. It does not require rich soil and 
preparation, but will grow almost anywhere. 
Zulu. Rich, deep, purplish maroon, the darkest yet 
raised; beautiful. 
25 ets. each ; $2.50 per dozen; set of 10 varieties, $2.00.
