Three 

 Exhibition Novelties 



Outstanding in form, size, and abundance of 

 bloom. Ideal for the garden, exhibition work, and 

 blue ribbon winners at the garden club show. 



Paul Pfitzer 



Giant-Flowered Cactus Dahlia 

 of Exceptional Beauty 



The wonderful giant flowers are freely produced 

 on vigorous plants and supported by graceful wiry 

 stems. The dainty, graceful petalage lends unusual 

 charm to the plant. Add to this grace the tender 

 rose color, faintly suffused with lilac, and we find 

 a most unusual appeal. The bases of the petals are 

 yellow contrasting nicely with the coppery red color 

 of the tips of the undeveloped petals in the center 

 of the flower. All flowers unfold to perfection. 

 This is in our opinion one of the most outstanding 

 introductions of recent years. Plants, $2.50 each; 

 $25.00 per doz.
