Special Collection of 
Superb French 
Dahlias 
This collection of famous French Cactus varieties 
attracted much attention in our fields the past summer. 
Not only are the flowers of large size, but they have 
distinct and unique form. The habit of the plants 
is also very vigorous, and the profusion of perfect 
flowers is certainly remarkable.

date Varieties for $2.00, prepaid to any part of 
North America.
