MOTHER Hybrid-Cactus. A glance at the illustration above, reproduced from a photograph, will tell the 
whole story of its name. It is so symbolic. Pure white with the slightest tint of color. It is large, 
so full, and carried proudly on an erect stem. The stem is well supplied with healthy green foliage, giving a still 
more striking resemblance to that old fashioned Mother. It is going to be universally grown — for exhibition, cut 
flowers and the garden. The plant is a strong sturdy grower and a free and continuous bloomer. Roots $2.50.

DREAM GIRL Decorative. An exquisite new variety 
with an entirely new color combination

while. The flowers are of good size, of beautiful, regular form 
and borne well above foliage on straight stiff stems. A fine dwarf 
branching grower, 3 to 4 feet. One of the loveliest of all dahlias 
and entirely distinct. An acquisition. Roots, §2.50. 
JANE HALL decorative. A grand decorative of massive 
build on erect stems. The petals reflex to the

the most popular in 
our trials the past two years. Brilliant crimson, shaded maroon,

effective combination. The flowers are large, of splendid form, 
and are carried well above the foliage. The plant is a very vigor- 
ous grower, an early, free and continuous bloomer; in fact the 
plants are a mass of bloom until frost. A splendid exhibition

garden. Height 5 ft. Roots $1.00.
