New Holland Cactus Dahlia 
The Holland Dahlia Specialists have been devoting their time and energies solely upon the development 
of the Peony-flowered Dahlias ; which have gained great prominence under their supervision. Now^ they 
are looking for a broader field, and have commenced on the Cactus Dahlia. I offer “Mrs. Warnaar,” the 
first truly wonderful “Holland Cactus” Dahlia. The Holland Dahlia Specialists set as their ideal the 
quality, ability to flower, and “Mrs. Warnaar” is a good example of this, it being an excellent garden 
Cactus. 
Mrs. Warnaar. New Holland Cactus Dahlia. A 
“Garden Cactus” of superior quality; heralded 
from Holland, and recommended as one of the 
finest cut-tflower varieties in existence. This 
most fascinating variety appeals to every flower- 
lover as a true sensation. The coloring is ex¬ 
quisite, being a delightful creamy white, overlaid 
and blending to a charming shade of pink. The 
flowers are produced upon long, stiff stem*, well 
Hybrid Cactus Dahlias 
The Hybrid Cactus Dahlia comprises the most gigantic of the quilled Dahlias—the modern “Hercules” 
of the Cactus type; flowers are gigantic in size, perfect in form, and grand in appearance. The shape 
of the flower is entirely distinct from the two other types of Cactus Dahlia—the flowers are broad and 
flat, of great depth, individual petals or florets being long and broad, moderately quilled, and terminating 
in a point, florets being arranged in exact regularity. The plants are of good habit, and excellent style 
of growth, being upright and carrying the flowers well above the foliage, combining the grace and 
refinement of the Cactus with the excellence, uprightness, and wiry stiffness of the Decorative. 
above the foliage; the habit of the plant being 
most pleasing. A blossom of gigantic size, and 
great merit. “Mrs. Warnaar” was first exhibited 
in Holland in 1914, where it received an Award 
of Merit at Haarlem given by the Dutch Bulb 
Growers’ Society, and an Award of Merit at Am¬ 
sterdam, given by The Netherland Society of 
Horticulture. $2.00 each.
