NEW CACTUS DAHLIAS FOR 1897.

AUSTIN CANNEIilj — All those iDteresteil and devoted to Cactus Dahlias well lemember 
the admiration created when we first exhibited the variety Huht. Oiiiiu’lt at the Crystal Palace 
several years ago, which was then decidedly the finest newly-rai.<ied cactus-sha|)ed variety, and 
surpassing the good old Jiiurezii, that we re-introduced. It is, therefore, with mucli pleasure that we 
announce our .success in having raised the above named, producing its fine spiky-formed petals to a 
still higher degree of perfection, and we anticipate it to even surpass the engraving. It is certainly 
the finest variety both in shape and habit yet seen, and will help to cany this class to a much 
higher degree in the estimation of all lovem of flowers. Of a mauvy pink or rose colour, very 
pretty. 10s. Gd. 
G-. DAYBELL REED— Of a charming rosy red shade, (|uile an attractive colour; petals 
very ])ointed ; a general favourite. 4.«. (iff. 
MISS DUTHIE— Of the loveliest and richest colour of old gold in the whole family of 
Dahlias, quite a pure self colour, and admired by all. 4s. 6d.
