A lovely pure yellow Dahlia, of 
the decorative form. When first opening 
it shows a shading of orange bronze, which 
gives way when the flower is fully ex- 
panded, leaving the color a beautiful clear 
yellow. Its flowers are borne freely on 
good stems well above the foliage. I con- 
sider this one of my best introductions.

This new Cactus Dahlia is undoubt- 
edly the best of its type yet introduced. Its 
form is a model of perfection, as will be 
seen by a glance at the half-tone cut on 
front page. It is an early bloomer, and pro- 
duces its flowers in great profusion. Color, 
dark purple maroon. 3 feet.

llHE subject of this illustraiion originated with me 
among a lot of seedlings which 1 planted in 
1896. I was at once impressed by its distinct- 
ively unique formation and color. Another 
odd characteristic of Curio is that it often blooms in 
clusters of three. The flower from which this 
illustration was made was one of a cluster of three, but 
unfortunately the cluster could not be so arranged that 
all would show without making an ill-shaped illustra- 
tion. The plant is an erect, strong grower, with but 
little foliage aside from its stems. The tlower is of 
medium size and quite rounded in form. Its color Is a 
rich orange bronze, bright and clear, and in this respect 
is also quite different from all others. It is not recom- 
mended for cutting purposes, as it is too heavy, but as 
a show variety it will undoubtedly become very popular. 
Should have good cultivation and rich soil.
