duced is surprising. “Uranus” is a fancy Cactus

ion-scarlet. One of the finest fancy varieties' of

UP-TO-DATE VARIETIES FOR 1919 
These nine recent introductions I will send pre¬ 
paid for $8.00. They are among the best samples 
of the Cactus Dahlia to date. 
E. F. HAWES. A new garden Cactus Dahlia of 
great value. Flowers are borne upon stiff, wiry 
stems, well above the foliage. The color is an 
exquisite clear salmon-pink shade, which, com¬ 
bined with its excellent habit, places it in the 
front rank of the “all-round” Cactus Dahlias. 
$1.00 each. 
HONESTY. A very free flowering variety of per¬ 
fect habit. The flowers are white at first, chang¬ 
ing with age to pale pink with white center. 
Each are produced upon stiff, wiry stems, well 
above the foliage. $1.00 each. 
OLYMPIC. New Incurved English 
Cactus Dahlia. A grand flower of 
deep rich crimson color and truly 
massive proportions, many flow¬ 
ers measuring 8 inches across ; of 
great depth as well as being ex¬ 
ceptionally incurved. The plants 
run above average height and 
need not be thinned or disbudded 
too vigorously, the flower being of 
sufficient size and remaining 
full to the center, even when 
the plants are allowed to car¬ 
ry a good display. For exhi¬ 
bition this variety will prove 
a valuable addition. 75 cents 
each. 
REV. ALFRED H. LOWE. New 
Incurved English Cactus Dah¬ 
lia. (See illustration on page 
9). Produces large, well- 
built flowers of the very high¬ 
est type of Incurved Cactus 
Dahlia. The florets are long, 
tightly quilled, and so perfect¬ 
ly incurved as to almost meet 
in the center. The color is 
chiefly pure yellow, but 
outer florets and the tips 
the younger are effectively 
tinged with rosy shadings. The 
plants are of a free, healthy style 
of growth and the flower stems are 
long. $1.00 each. 
RICHARD BOX. New Incurved 
English Cactus Dahlia. A clear, 
light soft shade of yellow. This 
variety blossoms early and main¬ 
tains a steady average of fine 
flowers throughout the season. 
Moderately incurved. $1.00 each. 
SCORPION. Wonderful New In¬ 
curved English Cactus Dahlia. 
One of the most sensational of the 
Incurved Cactus Dahlias. A flow¬ 
er of absolutely unique formation, 
the florets being very narrow and 
so gracefully and effectively in¬ 
curved, 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. 
SYLVIA. New Incurved English Cactus Dahlia. 
Beautiful deep pink, blending to pale lemon at 
the center. Petals long and slightly incurved. 
$1.50 each. 
THE QUAKER. Superb New Incurved English 
Cactus Dahlia. The loveliest color I have seen 
in Dahlias—the white center imperceptibly be¬ 
coming tinged with delicate flesh pink, so dainty 
in coloring as to almost give the impression of 
artificiality. The plants are of medium height, 
producing an abundance of flowers upon strong, 
wiry stems. This variety bears my highest 
recommendation. $1.00 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 
Dahlias ; a beautifully formed flower with long, 
claw-like petals and exceptionally good incurved 
form. The flowers are large, wonderfully gor¬ 
geous, 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. 75 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
