SIX CHOICE CACTUS DAHLIAS 
The Cactus Dahlias have become very popular, and deservedly. Hybridizers the 
world over have been devoting extra attention to them so that the improvement 
is very marked, both in form and coloring. In the latter particular this type 
shows more variation and pleasing combinations than are found in the 
others. The flowers are borne airily on long stems, they are lighter than 
the others, more loosely formed, more graceful, consequently are of the 
greatest value for cut flowers. The petals are long and rolled, usually 
toa rounded point; they are incurving and erect in many varieties, 
giving great depth to the flowers. 
Crystal. A splendid exhibition variety. The plant is a vigorous 
grower of branching habit, producing the flowers in great quanti- 
ties on long stems. Flowers of good size, petals long, incurved 
and twisted. This variety has none of the formality and 
stiffness so characteristic of some of the ‘‘Cactus’’ type. Color 
silvery pink, shaded with ivory white.
