Up-to-Date Incurved English 
Cactus Dahlias for 1919 
This collection of phenomenal Incurved Cactus 
Dahlias is the very highest and finest type of 
Cactus Dahlia to date. The flowers are not only 
of the largest size and exquisite color, but possess 
the most wonderful and latest type of the Cactus 
Dahlia ; the florets are exceptionally long, very nar¬ 
row, and so tightly quilled, incurved, twisted and 
interlaced, as to almost meet at the center. These 
varieties created a great sensation in England, 
winning overwhelmingly over all other Dahlias 
and holding both amateur and professional in 
amazement. They captured many gold and silver 
medals, silver cups and numerous first-class certifi¬ 
cates and awards of merit.

and Tightly Quilled English Cactus Dahlias I will 
ship prepaid to any part of the U. S. for $17.00. 
DOROTHY HAWES. Phenomenal New Incurved 
English Cactus Dahlia. The flowers are not only 
large, but of marvelous depth as well. The great 
number of long florets that incurve and interlace 
in an irregular yet beautiful manner, makes this a 
splendid specimen of the very latest type of Cac¬ 
tus Dahlia. The color has been described as cerise 
and as ruby-red, but clear rosy-purple is perhaps 
the best description. The stems are pendent, but 
for exhibition it is indispensable. $1.00 each.
