True Cactus Dahlias 



The Cactus Dahlias have become very popular and de- 

 servedly. 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 particu 

 lar this type shows more variation and pleasing combi- 

 nations than are found in the others. The flowers are 

 borne airly on long stems, they are lighter than the 

 others, more loosely formed, more graceful, conse- 

 quently are of the greatest value for cut flowers. The 

 petals are long and rolled usually to a rounded 

 point; they are incurving and erect in many varie- 

 ties, giving great depth and character to the flow- 

 ers. We offer a grand and varied collection.
