TRUE 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 varia 

 tion and pleasing combinations that is found in the others. The 

 flowers are borne airly 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 to a rounded point; they are in- 

 curving and erect in many varieties giving great depth 

 and character to the flowers. We offer a grand and 

 varied collection.
