New German Qiant Cactus Dahlias 



In our own fields, during the past summer, these varieties 

 attracted great attention. Not only are the flowers of very large 

 size (most of them distinct and unique in form) but the habit of the 

 plants is also very vigorous; growing with us about five feet high 

 and free-flowering. 



*.Nerthus. The centre of the flower is a rich, glowing, bronzy 

 orange-yellow, passing to a carmine-rose at the tips, the whole 

 suffused with a glowing golden color. 



*Rheinkonig. Pure snow-white flowers of splendid form, 5 inches 

 and over in diameter. These are of great substance, lasting splen- 

 didly when cut. They are borne on long, stiff stems held well 

 above the foliage. 



*Vater Rhein. Flowers frequently 7 inches in diameter, raised 

 well above the foliage on stout stems: the petals are broad, curled 

 and twisted, forming an ideal flower, the color of which is yellow 

 suffused with salmon-rose. 



*Wodan. Bold, large, but not coarse flower, frequently 7 inches in 

 diameter. A graceful arrangement of semi-incurved tubular 

 petals of a pleasing, delicate salmon-rose color, shading to old 

 gold in the centre. 



♦Wolfgang von Goethe. Large, gracefully arranged, perfect flowers 

 of a rich apricot with carmine shadings. 



Price. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz,; $15.00 per 100.
