this variety was as good on the last day of the Show as the first. The 
color is violet orchid and white. The stems are good and rigid, as a cut 
flower it will become one of the best on the market. Plants only $15.00 net. 
ELSIE OLIVER. We find that it is difficult to write a description. As nearly 
as we can describe the coloring, it is a creamy pink shading to cream: in 
the center. But while the color is an exquisite feature, a blossom; of any 
color would be a prize winner with its immense size and formation. The 
type is perfect hybrid cactus, with long evenly rolled petals and a good 
center. We have the impression that it is the largest variety of its type 
on the market. The branching bus'hes were laden with blooms ail season 
and attracted most unusual attention land admiration. The stems are good. 
Tubers $5,00. Plants $2.50.

has to be seen to be appreciated. The plants will stand without staking
