Special Collection of 
Superb French 
Dahlias 
This collection of famous French 
Cactus varieties attracted much at¬ 
tention 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 remark¬ 
able.
