Single Cactus Dahlias. 
In this lovely type, the petals, instead of being round as 
in the ordinary Singles, are long, beautifully twisted, and more 
or less pointed, approximating in these respects to the petals 
of the Double Cactus. The great variety of colour, and the 
extreme delicacy of the artistic shades, combined with the 
lightness and grace of the flowers, make them the best adapted 
of all the group for cutting purposes, and particularly for table 
and room decoration generally.
