E. Bridgewater Dahlia Gardens J. K. Alexander, E. Bridgewater , Massachusetts 
NANCY MAE. One of the best dark Cactus Dah¬ 
lias grown. A rich, dark, cardinal-red, of extra 
large size for this type, it is held erect and stiff 
on long stems. 50 cents each. 
NANTWICH. New Incurved English Cactus 
Dahlia. With this variety the habit is a great 
feature as well as the flower, the growth being 
upright and the flower stem particularly strong. 
The blossoms are of incurved form, the florets 
being evenly placed and unusually good in tex¬ 
ture. The color is a beautiful golden orange, 
somewhat deeper in the center. 50 cents each. 
NATALIE ALSOP. Alexander’s New Cactus 
Seedling. Named expressly for and by special 
permission of Miss Natalie Alsop, in recognition 
of her great love for beautiful flowers. This new 
variety is a wonderfully pleasing creation, pos¬ 
sessing all the good qualifications of the Dahlia. 
The flowers are most beautiful—a lively deep 
rose-pink, daintily blending to snow-white at 
the center. One of the greatest charms is the 
manner in which it carries its flowers; they 
being produced on very graceful, wiry stems. 
Plants are robust and sturdy, growing to an 
average height of 4 feet. $2.00 each. 
NIBULENGENHORT. Another gigantic flower 
of great value, both for exhibition and garden pur¬ 
poses. In color, a very beautiful shade of old 
rose, with a blending of salmon-pink and golden 
apricot. The flowers often measure eight inches 
in diameter. 50 cents each.

exhibition purposes, the blooms being large, 
splendidly formed and freely produced. Color,

The flowers are very large and produce freely. 
Much admired by all wherever exhibited. $1.00

yellow base, shading off to pale yellow tips. A 
magnificent flower for either garden or exhibition.

ROSE QUEEN. Fine specimen of the incurving 
form with good stems. The color is a bright lilac- 
rose. A very fine variety. $1.00 each. 
SCORPION. Wonderful New Incurved English 
Cactus Dahlia. One of the most sensational of the 
Incurved Cactus Dahlias. A flower of absolutely 
unique formation, the florets being very narrow and 
so gracefully and effectively incurved, twisted and 
interlaced as to almost meet in the center. At 
first sight one would think it was a Chrysanthemum. 
The blossoms are of medium size and of a beautiful 
clear yellow color. This variety is a great fav¬ 
orite with specialists abroad, especially appeal¬ 
ing to the lovers of irregularly formed Cactus 
Dahlias. 50 cents each. 
STABILITY. This new Garden Cactus Dahlia 
can be recommended as one of the finest. The

beautiful rose-pink imaginable. 50 cents each.

and one of the largest Hybrid Cactus Dahlias 
grown. Of a dark velvety red, the blooms are 
held on long, stiff stems. A sensational novelty. 
Price, $3.00 each. 
THE IMP. Up-to-date Incurved English Cactus 
Dahlia. This wonderful introduction is best 
described as “The Black Dahlia,” the color being 
as near black as we have ever seen in Cactus Dah¬ 
lias; a beautifully formed flower with long, claw¬ 
like petals and exceptionally good incurved form. 
The flowers are large, wonderfully gorgeous, and 
so dark that they have gained the name, “The Black 
Dahlia.” This variety is one of the best in every 
respect, the plants being splendid, robust growers 
and remarkably free-flowering. 50 cents each. 
URANUS. New Incurved English Cactus Dahlia. 
(See illustration on page 8). A very large blos¬ 
som of exceedingly good form. In offering this 
variety we wish to state definitely that the habit 
is absolutely pendent. At the same time it is a 
most beautiful exhibition flower of finest incurv¬ 
ed form and is destined to become one of the most 
popular. The quantity of blossoms produced is 
surprising. “Uranus” is a fancy Cactus Dahlia, 
the ground color being creamy white, thickly speck¬ 
led and striped rosy-pink to vermilion-scarlet. One 
of the finest fancy varieties of the incurved type. 
A beautiful specimen. $1.00 each. 
YELLOW KING. Another gigantic Hybrid Cac¬ 
tus, splendid for cutting. A fine, pure yellow, 
passing to a lighter shade at the tips. The stems 
are long, stiff and upstanding. The plant is a 
vigorous grower and an early, prolific bloomer. 
$1.00 each. A splendid introduction.
