W. D. Hathaway's Catalogue and Price List 
Surperb CACTUS Dahlias 
After growing a large number of the new varieties of true type Cactus 
Dahlias, I have selected the following collection as the best of them all for 
exhibition purposes and Garden Decoration: 
A. R. PERRY. Old rose, tipped with gold. Large exhibition flowers with 
long, narrow incurved pe.tals. $1.00. 
AMBER GLOW. A Cactus of the highest English type, petals are long, 
narrow and straight. Size immense. Stem is as good as its parent, 
Pierrot. The color is bright yellow, deepening to pale orange at the 
center. An incomparable exhibit blossom which is also good for cutting. 
$3.00. 
BALLET GIRL. A new California introduction of particular merit. The 
coloring is unique, orange with a combination of white. Flowers are 
very large with good stems. Good for exhibition. $2.50. 
BONNIE G. A Cactus of the scarcest shade in dahlias, a true pink, paler 
than Delice and deeper than E. F. Hawes. The stem is fair, and this 
variety will be good for cutting where the constant fogs have a tendency 
to weaken stems. Is a tall grower and produces very large flowers with 
great freedom. To a lover of pink flowers, nothing so dainty and pretty 
has been offered since France introduced Delice. Tubers $2.50, plants $1.25 
CURLEW. Old rose, a distinct and pleasing self-color, massive full flowers, 
very long florets incurving right over center; splendid size and shape. 
Strong flower stems, free bloomer. $1.00. 
DOROTHY DURNBAUGH. A most attractive shade of deep,rich pink, flowers 
are immense in size; of fine form and habit, with strong stems, that 
hold up well; one of the best Cactus Dahlias in cultivation. Fine for 
cutting. $2.00. 
E. F. HAWES. Clear, delicate pink, a shade admired and in demand as a 
cut flower. Flowers on strong, erect stems. 75c. 
GLADYS BATES. One of the popular new dahlias in contrasting shades. 
Immense, heavy blooms of incurved petals of tan, with a reverse of 
rose. The oddity of coloring is all that is needed to make this dahlia 
attractive, but it has every good point as well. Perfect form, closed 
centre, long, straight stems, and a profusion of blooms. This dahlia 
is but slightly removed from the English class and some people dispute, 
our classification for it of American Cactus. $2.50. 
GWENDOLINE TUCKER. One of the best silvery flesh pinks, shading 
lighter in center. Giant blooms are held erect on extra long stems. $1.00. 
IRENE SATIS. Bright amber, tinted bronze. Large, perfectly formed 
flowers, held ercet on fine stems; blooms freely and constantly. One of 
the best true cactus. $1.00. 
IVORY WHITE. A creamy white of extra large size; much like 'F. W. 
Fellows' in form. Strong grower, good habit and fine stems. One 
of the best exhibition sorts. $1.00. 
JULIAN. Flesh pink, fading to almost white in the center. Exceptionally 
large, moderately incurved and very narrow florets. Has good stems 
and is a free bloomer. $1.00. 
LADY SWATHLING. A beautiful salmon pink passing to amber in center. 
One of the largest cactus and quite erect. $1.00.
