 Cactus Dahlias 



Hollywood 



Modern Dahlia culture has developed many superb varieties, but none 

 better than Hollywood. It is a beautiful salmon-pink of the true quilled 

 Cactus type. Flowers of immense size, measuring on well-grown plants 

 6 to 8 inches across. 



Mutual Friend 



An exquisitely colored Dahlia. The flat center petals are canary yellow. 

 The outer petals salmon, merging into light pink, which gets lighter 

 toward the tips. The petals are quilled and twisted. (See illustration.) 



Patapsco 



The flowers are large and full, measuring 6 inches or over in diameter. 

 The petals are loosely incurved, of a delicate mauve-rose, suffused pink. 



Sweetheart 



The growth is dwarf and branching, making many flower stems. Color 

 purest white. The petals are twisted and curled, rendering the flower 

 most attractive and pleasing. (See illustration.) 



The Vamp 



A very handsome "Cactus" Dahlia, color intense scarlet with maroon 

 shading, enhancing the richness of coloring. Large flowers on long stems. 



Warren S. Seipp 



A bold, upright grower, furnishing abundant flowers for cutting. They 

 are naturally large, and if the plant is disbudded flowers of exceptional 

 size develop perfectly. The color is spectrum red, shading to carmine 

 toward the center. 



Price of the above field-grown roots, SI. 00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 

 85.00 for set of six. 



Twelve Cactus Dahlias 



Aberdeen. A valuable variety for cutting. Begins to flower 

 early and continues in great profusion until frost. The flowers 

 are of medium size, of the true quilled cactus type and are borne 

 on slender wiry stems well above the foliage. The color is dazz- 

 ling red shaded crimson, very brilliant in artificial light. 



Attraction. The color is a most delicate lilac mauve, with 

 bluish tints toward the edge of the petals. The flowers are large 

 and decidedly pleasing in effect. They are borne on long stems 

 of wiry stiffness well above the foliage. Fine for cutting. The 

 plant is a strong, healthy grower, averaging about 5 feet in height 

 and bushy. 



Break o' Day (Hybrid Cactus). Color clear sulphur yellow 

 shading to white at the tips. Flowers are illuminated by a 

 satiny sheen giving them a waxy appearance. 



Countess of Lonsdale. Lustrous, salmon-pink. A very de- 

 sirable variety for cutting. Flowers very freely. 



Decision. Light yellow overlaid with golden bronze, very 

 attractive under artificial light. 



Kalif. This is a giant-flowering variety; a truly majestic 

 flower, frequently measuring 8 to 9 inches in diameter, of perfect 

 cactus form. Flowers very freely on good stiff stems. The color 

 is pure scarlet; shows up particularly well under artificial light. 

 Price, 75c. each. 



Lawine. The color is pure white with just a suggestion of 

 blush as the flower matures. A fine, large, full flower. 



Marguerite Bouchon. The color is an exquisite shade o 

 brilliant yet soft rose, with 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. Price, 75c. each. 



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, 75c. each. 



Prince of Yellows. Pure canary-yellow. The petals are 

 broad and fringed at the tips. Splendid habit, strong stems. 



Wolfgang von Goethe. Large gracefully arranged flowers 

 of a rich apricot with carmine shadings. The plant is a vigorous 

 grower, of branching habit, producing the flowers in great 

 quantities on long stems. 



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 of the above field-grown roots, except where noted, 

 50c. each; $5.00 per doz. Set of 12 Cactus Dahlias, $5.50.
