formation but distinct in color; creamy old-rose

Hybrid Cactus Dahlia, 

 E^stiier R. Holmes 



Jean Cliazot or "Gay Parce." One of the best com- 

 mercial bronze or autumn-tinted cut flowers, and one 

 of the best all-aiound varieties that has yet been 

 produced for garden decoration. The habit of the 

 plant is all that could be wished for. A free, upright 

 grower; long, stiff, wiry stems hold the flowers well 

 above the foliage in such a manner as to display 

 their full beauty; it is one of the most prolific flow- 

 ering, coming into bloom early and continuing in 

 good condition to the end of the season; we have 

 never seen an imperfect flower; these are of good 

 size, of splendid Hybrid-Cactus form, and in color a 

 beautiful golden-bronze with just a faint suffusion 

 of Nasturtium-red that intensifies its brilliancy. 

 $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Marian Moore. A clear pinkish cerise without the 

 slightest taint of magenta, the reverse of the petal 

 being of a lighter tint. The flowers are largre. of 

 perfect incurved formation with perfect stem. 9S.00

I'icotee. Color of rich luminous crimson-carmine with 

 the reverse of petals a silvery-white color, the petals

 tess of Lonsdale, which for many years was con-

 and freer flowering. $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.
