as a cut flower, and the prices will be found quite reasonable. The following is

ARACHNE. (Cactus). A most remarkable (lower. The center of each petal is pure white 
edged along its entire length with broad band of brightest crimson. As, however, the 
edges of the petals are completely reflexed, the white only of the outer petals is seen 
when looking straight into the face of the (lower, sideways the reflexed crimson edges are 
fully visible, and give the flower a very elegant and coquettish appearance.

MRS. WINTERS 
The Grandest of All White Dahlias. 
"In offering this Dahlia. 1 believe I am in- 
troducing the best White Dahlia yet produced. 
The claim is a large one, but I believe its 
merits will justify the claim ... I orig- 
inated it three years ago, and have watched 
it carefully and have yet to see the first im- 
perfect flower. Its color is a pure waxy white, 
which shows no tint or variation even in the 
strongest, sunlight. It blooms very freely, 
producing flowers from live to seven inches in 
diameter, with beautifully pointed petals. . . 
Another good quality is that it never shows 
an open center. The plant grows to a height 
of three feet, and is of a rather spreading 
habit, and in type belongs to the Cactus sec- 
tion, but the petals, although pointed, are 
rather broad." 
The above are my introductory notes of 
two years ago, and now, after two more years' 
trial, and tile many reports from those who 
have grown this Dahlia, I find no reason to 
change the above. 1 have but a limited supply 
to oiler to the trade. While they last, I will 
sell at 20c each; $2.00 per doz.; $'lS.OO per 100.

DR GATES. (1800). This new Cactus is a 
lovely shade of sea shell pink, shading to 
blush at the base of the petals. Unlike so 
many of the Cactus varieties, this one has 
a fine stem, holding its flowers well above 
the foliage. Its flowers are very even in 
size and form. As a variety for cutting, it 
has no equal among the ('actus types — a 
noble Dahlia.

large and full, with petals curved and twist-
