Illustrated in colors on page opposite 



No. 1 Cactus Dahlia 



Marguerite Bouchon 



The color is an exquisite shade of brilliant, yet soft, rose, with a very 

 large white center and distinctly defined white tips. It is a strong free 

 grower, fine foliage; a very free bloomer with long-stemmed flowers held 

 well above the foliage. Fine for cut flowers. Price, field-grown roots, 

 75c. each, S7.S0 per doz. 



No. 2 



Hybrid Cactus Dahlia 



George Walters 



Beautiful, large, full flowers of regular shape: long, almost straight 

 petals. The color is salmon rose shaded silvery pink. This is one of the 

 largest hybrid Dahlias grown and a wonderful bloomer. Price, field-grown 

 roots, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



No. 3 New Decorative Dahlia 



Pride of California 



We consider this one of the best of the new Dahlias because of its uni- 

 form habit of growth, freedom of bloom and the erect position in which 

 the flowers are held on the long stiff stems. 



The color is deep red and the flowers keep well when cut. Price, field- 

 grown roots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per doz. 



No. 4 



Early White Dahlia 



Jean Kerr 



An ideal pure white Dahlia for all purposes. It is sometimes classed 

 as a show variety because of its closely set petals and ball shape but it 

 really belongs to the decorative class. One of the earliest to bloom, it 

 produces flowers continuously until killed by frost. Price, field-grown 

 roots, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz. 



No. 5 



Cactus Dahlia 



Pierrot 



The color is deep amber, but each petal is tipped with pure white. 

 One of the pleasing features of this variety is that the amount of white 

 varies, giving a unique and striking effect. Price, field-grown roots. 75c. 

 each, $7.50 per doz. 



No. 6 



Cactus Dahlia 



Wodan 



A large, bold and most effective flower, raised well above the foliage on 

 strong stems. The Color is a pleasing delicate salmon rose, shading to old 

 gold in the center. The petals are tubular and semi-incurved, giving great 

 depth to the flower. When cut it retains its freshness a long time. Price, 

 field-grown roots, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.

 ease, each plant being sturdy and vigorous. (See
