CACIUS DAHLIAS. 
A very showy and effective section of this desir- 
able garden flower. The blooms are of peculiar 
shape, resembling in some varieties the Cactus 
“Cereus Speciosissimus.’’ Hence the name ‘‘ Cactus 
Dahlia.’”’ They grow from three to four 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.
