REPORT ON CACTUS DAHLIAS, 1895. 
The rapid accession of new varieties to this the most beauti- 
ful section of the Dahlia family, made it extremely desirable 
that they should be collected and grown together uuder the same 
conditions, and the so-called improvements noted. It is worthy 
of special remark that Juarezii, the oldest Cactus variety, is still 
quite one of the best. 
The plants for this trial were received from : — 
Mr. C. Turner, Slough. 
Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons, Chelsea. 
Messrs. R. Veitch & Son, Exeter. 
Messrs. J. Cheal & Sons, Crawley, 
Messrs. Dobbie & Co., Rothesay. 
Messrs. H. Cannell & Sons, Swanley.
