Cactus Dahlia 

 Mllk. Marik Doucht 



Mine. Eschenauer. A most delicately col- 

 ored and one of the earliest and freest flower- 

 ing Cactus varieties. It is creamy- white with 

 a delicate suffusion or soft mauve-pink, a 

 splendid cut-flower. $1.00 each. 



Mrs. Clinton. Very free-flowering, deep am- 

 ber gradually passing to a rosy-scarlet. 35 cts. 

 each. 



Mrs. J. Emberson. A distinct fancy with 

 large incurved flowers of a pale lemon, 

 splashed with rosy-pink. 50 cts. each. 



Mrs. VVarnaar. A splendid exhibition va- 

 riety of a creamy white, with just a faint ap- 

 ple-blossom suffusion; flowers of gigantic size, 

 over 8 inches in diameter, and on strong, stiff 

 stems, petals long and peculiarly twisted and 

 curled. A variety which we unhesitatingly 

 recommend as a novelty of unusual merit.

 of growth with the flowers held well above

 roon shadings; flowers absolutely perfect, 

 very free; an ideal cut-flower. 50 cts. each.

 composed of rather broad, more or less, curled 

 and twisted petals of a beautiful shade of old 

 rose with golden-apricot suffusion. Very free- 

 flowering on long stems. $1.00 each. 



Nerthus. The centre of the flower is a rich, 

 glowing, bronzy, orange-yellow, passing to a 

 carmine-rose at the tips, the whole suffused 

 with a glowing golden color, which gives it 

 an iridescence which it is not possible to de- 

 scribe. 50 cts. each. 



Nordlicht. A fine large perfect flower of a 

 glowing orange passing to rose at the tips, 

 the entire flower having a dew-like suffusion 

 of amethyst. $1.00 each.
