Cactus Dahlias. 
Of all sections of Dahlias the Cactus-flowered varieties are 
far and away the most popular. They embrace the 1 widest 
range of colour, are generally of good habit, and very floriferous. 
The flowers consist of long, narrow, pointed florets, each floret 
being rcflexed at the edges, giving it the appearance of a long, 
narrow claw. They are most popular for exhibition, garden, or 
room decoration.
