W. D. Hathaway's Catalogue and Price List 
GIANT HYBRID CACTUS DAHLIAS— Continued 
CALIFORNIA BEAUTY. The color is the nearest approach to a pure copper 
I have seen in a Dahlia; the flowers of medium size are produced 
great profusion, much resembling the "Golden West" in shape and 
habit, but probably not quite so large; as a cut flower this is certain to 
be in much demand. $1.50. 
CALIFORNIA ENCHANTRESS. This novelty has immense blooms of great 
substance. It is a delightful shade of pale pink. The stems are fine 
and it is free flowering. $2.50. 
CLAREMONT. Novelty of the dantiest colorings. Soft rose pink with 
cream shadings. The lovely large flowers are held high above the bush 
on extra long stiff stems. This Dahlia is a prize winner, one of the 
attractions at the Dahlia Shows, and a* great favorite in our garden. $1.50. 
DIANA (Holland Hybrid). Crimson with violet reflex. Good stems and is 
considered one of the "good ones" in the Holland varieties. $1.00 
EDITH SLOCOMBE (a true hybrid cactus). This dahlia is finely formed on 
long wiry stem, of a wonderful shade of rich, purplish, garnet shaded, 
velvet maroon, a most wonderful striking flower. Plants $2 50 tuber- 
$5.00. 
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 m 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 bushes were laden 
with blooms all season and attracted most unusual attention and admira- 
tion. The stems are good. Tubers $7.50, plants $3.75. 
FRANCIS LOBDELL (Waite). New variety. Like all good varieties, this one 
has to be seen to be appreciated. The plants will stand without staking

certificate at A. D. S Trial Grounds, 1922. A splendid introduction,

among pygmies ; flowers 9 inches in diameter without disbudding the

flowering. As a garden flower this has no equal among the whites. $3.00.
