i NEW CACTUS-FLOWERED DAHLIA, MAHALA SHERIFF. 
The following, which are of the true Cactus type, we can confidently recommend as being a decided 
advance on most other varieties hitherto sent out. 
EARL OF PEMBROK E. Florets very long, quite’ three 
inches in length, beautifully and regularly arranged 
porcupine-like. A fine large flower, the colour a bright 
plum, deeper and more velvety towards the centre. Height, 
3 feet. Each 2s. 
MARQUIS. Deep rich velvety maroon or crimsoi* a colour 
seldom seen, except in a good coloured Reynolds Hole Rose, 
towards the outside the petals are lighted up with a tinge 
of fiery crimson, giving to the whole flower a very rich effect ; 
in form nothing could be better, the long pointed petals, 
which have a slight curl inwards, show off tho richness of 
colouring to good advantage. Height, 4 feet. Each 2s. 
MRS. BARNES. Lovely pale primrose, gradually shading 
towards the outside of the flower and towards the tip of each 
petal with the palest tint of rosy pink, tho blend of colours 
being exactly that found in a Marie Van 1 Ionite Rose; a 
large flower of exquisite shape, with long, twisted, pointed 
petals. Height, 3! feet. Each 2s. 
HARMONY. Reddish bronze, rather more yellow towards 
the centre, florets long, curled, and very pointed ; very free 
flowering, the flowers being of a splendid Cactus shape 
and of fair size. This may he considered an improved 
Countess of Qosford. Height, 3 feet. Each 2s. 
MAYOR HASKINS. The brightest glowing crimson 
imaginable ; a large hold (lower of true Cactus type, reminding 
one of Oloriosa , but much deeper in colour, the back of the 
petals is of a very pale red, and as tho petals twist, especially 
towards the outside of the flower, they show this pale tint, 
and give the flower quite a tipped appearance. Height, 
3| feet. , Each 2s. 
MRS. A. BECK. 'I ’his variety is very similar in form and 
shape to the now well-known Mrs. A. Peart , but of a rich 
reddish salmon colour. Tho petals are very long and beauti- 
fully twisted, forming a flower which is not unlike a Japanese 
Chrysanthemum in appearance. The plant is of dwarf habit, 
I he flowers are of medium size, and borne very freely. Each 2s. 
10s. 
One of each above six superb varieties 
SALISBURY WHITE. 
( See illustration, page 105.) 
This is a flower of (ho purest snow white, having short pointed petals of the decorative type. We introuuee this not as an exhibition 
Cactus Dahlia, hut one which on account of its small pure white (lowers, borne in the greatest profusion on long wiry stems, will prove 
invaluable to florists for wreaths, bouquets, and decoratious of all kinds. Height, 5 feet. Each Is., or 3 for 2s. 6d.
