16 CLIKRANS' LIST OF DAHLIAS FOR 1908. 
Cactus Dahlias. 
Of all sections of Dahlias the Cactus-flowered varieties 
are far and away the most popular. They embrace the 
widest range of colour, are generally of good habit, and 
very floriferous. The flowers consist of long, narrow, 
pointed florets, each floret being reflexed at the edges, giving 
it the appearance of a long, narrow claw. They are most 
popular for exhibition, garden, or room decoration.
