CHOICE CACTUS DAHLIAS 
We offer on this and the following page a list of choice Cactus and 
Hybrid Cactus sorts of recent introduction, together with the older we 
gems which have made a reputation for themselves. 
All of the Dahlias offered under this heading will be 
supplied in dormant field roots of proper planting 
size. 
Andreas Hofer. A lovely narrow petaled Cactus of 
ideal form and soft tender coloring. A most delicate 
shade of pink with salmon suffusion passing to a creamy- 
white centre. Its stiff wiry long stems and free habit of 
bloom make it invaluable for cut flowers as well as for 
garden decoration. $1.50 each. 
Arthur Twitchett. Very large deep flower composed 
of many incurved petals forming a most attractive 
graceful flower. Color, early in season, white with just 
a flush of pink changing to white late in the season. 
$1.00 each. 
Aurora. Delicate reddish apricot suffused with flesh- 
pink, shading lighter toward the tips of the petals. 75 
cts. each. 
Break O’Day. A good sized flower with a full, high centre, | 
with more or less curved and twisted petals, intermingled with ~~ 
the flatter ones, forming a most attractive, graceful flower. In 
color, a clear sulphur-yellow, shading to sulphur-white at the tips, 
early and free-flowering. 50 cts. each. E 
California Beauty. Probably the nearest approach to a pure 
copper, a flower of excellent form and dainty appearance produced 
most prolifically on long stiff wiry stems; a gem in the garden and a 
splendid cut flower. 50 cts. each. 
Cardinal Superba. A marvelously brilliant giant Cactus with 
immense flowers of most perfect form and of brilliant red with 
golden metallic lustre. It has good stiff stems holding the flowers 
in such a manner as to display their brilliant beauty to full 
advantage. $1.00 each. 
Crystal. A great exhibition flower of large size and splendid 
form; long twisted incurved tubular petals of a tender silvery 
pink, which passes gradually towards the centre to a soft ivory 
white. 50 cts. each. 
Dempsey. Good large well-formed flowers with somewhat curled 
petals on good stiff stems of a brilliant French purple; an 
effective exhibition and garden variety. 50 cts. each.

Cactus DAHLIA, 
ANDREAS HOFER 
Wonderfully free flowering, beautiful 
tint of solferino, backed by a sunshine like golden suffusion at 
the base of the petals. 50 cts. each. 
Elsie Daniels. Very soft lavender-pink shading to pearly- 
white at centre, long, more or less wavy petals forming a most 
perfect shaped large flower on excellent stems. $2.00 each. 
Esther Hunt. A large flower, distinct and beautiful both in 
form and coloring, the latter being a striking luminous tone of 
chinese-orange. The flowers are most perfect in form with good 
full centres, which remain in good condition until the flowers 
have faded. 75 cts. each. 
Esther R. Holmes. A most graceful flower of good size, a 
most delicate and pleasing shade of mauve-pink, a fine cut 
flower. 75 cts. each. 
Etendard de Lyon. Everyone admires this beautiful rich 
carmine-rose or royal purple. The flowers are distinct in shape 
from all others, with broad, curling, wavy petals which form a 
large flower without any stiffness or formality. 50 cts. each. 
F. W. Fellows. One of the very best Cactus varieties ever 
raised, with flowers of unusual size for the long narrow petaled 
type of which this is one of the finest representatives. In color 
it is an intense coral-red with deeper suffusion at the centre; 
no collection of Dahlias is complete without it. 50 cts. each. 
George Schofield. Medium sized flowers of exquisite form, long 
narrow incurving, twisting petals. Color a delicate blending of 
apricot and yellow, shading to white at the tips. 50 cts. each. 
George Walters (Hybrid Cactus). While introduced some ten 
years ago, it is still one of the most popular large flowered 
Californians, producing its blooms very freely on long stiff 
stems, of a pleasing salmon with shrimp-pink shadings; a fine 
garden variety and good cut flower. 50 cts. each. 
Gladys Bates. Very large perfect flowers, with incurved petals 
of a golden salmon, the reverse of the petals being rose, the two 
colors giving the effect of a golden old-rose. It is an early, free 
and continuous bloomer with exceptionally good stems, one of 
the most popular Decorative varieties. 50 cts. each. 
Gladys Sherwood. A wonderful white. We have seen flowers 
over 10 inches in diameter composed of long curling petals of 
glistening white forming a flower of unusual depth. $1.00 each. 
Koh-I-Noor. Maroon, and at times so dark as to be nearly 
black. The flower texture has a pronounced velvety sheen 
which adds greatly to its beauty. In form, a perfect Hybrid 
Cactus, the blossoms very large and deep with perfect centre 
throughout the season. $1.50 each.
