CHOICE CACTUS DAHLIAS 



(Continued) 



Gladys Sherwood. A wonderful white. We have seen flowers 

 over 10 inches in diameter composed of long curling petals of 

 glistening white forming a ilower of unusual depth. 75 cts. each. 



Goldene Sonne. Andreas Hofer described on page 150 of this 

 boolc, a variety which, however, is yet but little known, is one 

 of the finest and most graceful delicate pinli Cactus varieties 

 we Icnow. In Goldene Sonne we have its counterpart in forma- 

 tion but with a larger flower and of a rich golden yellow with 

 soft rose suffusion. 75 cts. each. 



Jean Ghazot or Gay Paree. This is one of the very best all 

 around varieties that has yet been produced. A beautiful 

 golden bronze with a faint touch of Nasturtium red and unsur- 

 passed by any of the autumn tints as a cut flower. A free 

 upright grower, long stiff, wiry stems hold the flowers well 

 above the foliage in such a manner as to display their full 

 . beauty; it is one of the most prolific flowering, coming into 

 bloom early and continuing good to the end of the season. 

 75 cts. each. 



Marian Moore. A clear pinkish cerise without the slightest 

 taint of magenta, the reverse of the petal being of a lighter 

 tint. The flowers are large, of perfect incurved formation with 

 perfect stem, a free and early bloomer. 75 cts. each. 



Mariposa. A perfectly formed Hybrid Cactus composed of long 

 narrow incurved petals which curl and twist so as to baffle 

 an artist. A delightful shade of true pink which is intensified by 

 a deeper centre, a faint violet suffusion adds to the effect. 

 Blooms early and continues good to the end of the season. 75 

 cts. each. 



Mercedes. A gay and entrancing flower of large size, of a 

 creamy-yellow suffused with sunset pink, the reverse of the 

 petals a deeper shade of pink. One of the earliest and freest 

 bloomers. 75 cts. each. 



Mme.Diesny. A fine Dahlia of gooa size composed of moderately 

 loosely arranged petals of a beautiful lively shade of amaranth- 

 pink. A very free producer; a wonderful exhibition and garden 

 variety. 75 cts. each. 



Mrs. Edna Spencer. One of the best of the narrow petaled 

 Cactus varieties, the large flowers are produced on strong stems 

 and are of a most delicate lavender-pink color with white 

 suffusion. One of the best for cutting. 50 cts. each. 



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

 the centre. This is a close counterpart except in color of Gladys 

 Sherwood; the flowers are of the same formation but still larger 

 and not quite so deep in the centre; a remarkable Dahlia. 

 75 cts. each. 



Mrs. J. L. Gardner. An attractive refined flower of perfect 

 formation. Color deep red with white tips. This without 

 cjuestion is the finest of the white tipped red varieties, very free. 

 75 cts. each. 



Hichtl. Flowers of immense size of very incurved shape ^ — ~ 

 on good stems, producing an abundance of beautiful 

 light yellow flowers with good centres to the end of the 

 season. 50 cts. each. 



Paradise. Of the well known George Walters type in 

 formation but entirely distinct in color; creamy old-rose 

 suffused with gold in such a manner as to give it a 

 striking brown tone; extremely free with perfect stems. 

 75 cts. each. 



Pico tee. 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. 50 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. 



Serenade. A perfectly formed incurved flower on the style of 

 a water lily, color an iridescent old rose that shimmers in the 

 sunlight like changeable silk, the reverse of the petals is violet, 

 the central petals shaded with gold. $1.00 each. 



Sinbad. Color a bright maroon with the reverse of the petals a 

 lighter shade, and as they twist and turn the effect is a blossom 

 tipped with mauve. The form is incurved. 75 cts. each. 



Springfield. An improvement over the variety Countess of 

 Lonsdale, which for many years was considered one of the very 

 best Cactus varieties for general cultivation. In Springfield, we 

 have the same beautiful blending of salmon-pink and amber, 

 possibly more intensified and luminous, and even freer flowering. 

 50 cts. each. 



Sulphur Queen. A splendid large flower of true Cactus form 

 of a clean sulphur-yellow, early and free; the best of this color 

 yet introduced. 50 cts. each.

 varieties. A strong, vigorous grower, very free and early, and 

 makes a bright vivid spot in the garden. 75 cts. each.

 with maroon shadings. Many of the long petals incurve 

 slightly showing the reverse of the tips which gives the flower

 stiff stems of a brilliant garnet-red with maroon shading; 

 always attracts attention. 75 cts. each.

 heavily suffused with apricot pink with deeper shading. The 

 flower has great depth, built of heavy evenly rolled petals. An 

 early free bloomer that wiU please for all purposes. 50 cts. each-
