Carters' Choice Cactus Dahlia. 
Dahlia« — Carters' Cross-fertiuskd Strains. The Double Dahlia was for half a century a leading 
florists’ flower. However, fashion changes, and the Single Varieties a few years since evoked a species of 
mania which has not yet subsided. Yet anotlrcr kind now heads the race, the so-called Cactus Dahlia, of 
which our illustration shows the type. Our strain has been specially hybridised and fertilised with various 
species, and should produce some novel kinds. Sow the seed in early spring, in heat, and pot on. Plant 
out as soon as large enough in June. Plants raised very early will bloom the same season. We can supply 
j)lants in May, see page 252. I’er paLkei— s. d.
