TWO NEW LATE-FLOWERING VARIETIES. 
YELLOW ETHEL, or NEW YEAR’S DAY— (Fdwards' variety)— Uji to the present, 
no variety has proved more valuable and useful for the festive season as the white, the jiarent of the 
above, mid from whicli it is a sport— this being so, we need hardiy say it is a fae-siniile in every way 
except colour, wliich is a bright yellow of a higher tone of colour than other similar sports. IJlooms 
of this variety commanded almost fabulous jirices last Christmas : and, without doubt, is the best and 
most valuable for cutting at the shortest and New Year’s Days ever oftercil. l.v. (it/, each. Special

CACTUS DAHLIAS. 
It is highly gratifving to know, as we do from the great dciuaud of late and eni|uiries. that .seedlings 
similar and apiiroaching the original .luarezii that we had the pleasure of sending out soiue years ago 
are the most useful and serviceable of all Dahlias. Just ns we. anticipated, our new varieties last sear 
have given great satisfaction, ami at no distant date prizes will be offered for this class, just in the same 
way a.s the show ami fancy varieties. 
It is with considerable pride and pleasure that we have six varieties to add to tlie lovely and 
most useful class of all Dahlias. 
SIR TREVOR LAWRENCE— In our opinion this is the loveliest coloured Cactus Dahlia in 
cultivation. Bright cherry-scarlet, shaded jmrple, refle.xcd flowers, with pleasing Cactus-shaped 
jietals and charuiing haliit. makes it a general favourite. One of the best we have raised. lO.-.'. each. 
YELLOW A. W. TAIT— A deep bronze-yellow, abundant bloomer, and fine haliit : at first 
sight it would be taken for a reflexed Chrysanthemum, so fine and lovely aro^ its petals twi.sted and 
narrowly cut, rivalling a Japanese variety ; a real feature in any garden, 's. (W. 
YELLOW JUAREZII— Colour canary -yellow ; elegant shaiic. and will become immensely 
])Opular. lO.v. each 
LADY ARDILAUN— Mo^tchannin<rcomi)iimtiou of colour, lialf-and-half scarlet and crimson. 
Tu factj it is. in our opinion, the loveliest self-colour of all Dahlias : splendid habit, very tine and 
free. 10s. each.
