CHCTUS DHHLIRS. 



A very showy and effective section of this desirable garden flower. The blooms are of peculiar shape, resembling in 

 some varieties the Cactus " Cereus Speciosissimus." Hence the name, " Cactus Dahlia." They grow from 3 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. 



Mrs. Tait. A peculiar and pretty Dahlia, somewhat 

 resembling Juarezii, and is a fine improvement on 

 Constance or Ariel in its whiteness and serrated form 

 and appearance, and must become a general favorite 

 foi' cut flowers. It does not require rich soil and 

 preparation, but will grow almost anywhere. 50 cts.
