CACTUS-FLOWERED DAHLIAS. 
(See Coloured Plate.) 
The Cactus-flowered Dahlias with their many brilliant and charming tints and shades of 
colouring, form a magnificent class either for garden decoration or for exhibition, and certainly no 
class of flowers has risen so highly in the public estimation of late years as these. The flowers last 
a long time in water when cut, and apart from their great value us exhibition flowers, they aro 
exceedingly useful to cut for indoor decoration. We have made some splendid additions to our list, 
and as will be seen below, our collection of Cactus-flowered and Decorative Dahlias includes all 
the finest varieties.
