Gigantic New German Hybrid 
Cactus Dahlias 
These three mammoth New German Hybrid Cac¬ 
tus Dahlias created a great sensation this past sea¬ 
son, attracting considerable attention wherever ex¬ 
hibited, and proving their true character and quali¬ 
ties in our fields, where they won admiration of all 
visitors. I cannot recommend them too highly. 
This collection of three Gigantic New German 
Cactus Dahlias, I will ship, prepaid, to any part of 
North America for $2.00. 
Goliath. Yellow, tinged with 
salmon ; broad petals ; distinct. 
H. J. Jones. Delicate primrose center, shading off 
to a sweetest rose-pink. 
Ianthe. A lively shade of buff, edged salmon-rose; 
very large, fine flower. 
L. Mandarin. This is a very novel variety, with a 
light cream center, shaded to a yellow, tipped 
deep pink, and each petal is then striped with 
crimson, making it very showy. 
Les Alliees. Pinkish white, striped rose and purple. 
Petals quite broad, giving a substantial flower. 
Lyric. Fiery red, shading yellow. Fine. 
Pearl de Lyon. A pure white exhibition variety of 
great value. The petals are fringed or nitched, 
giving a unique appearance. 
Kalif. Wonderful New German Cactus Dahlia. A 
truly majestic flower, frequently measuring over 
9 inches in diameter. The flower is of perfect 
Hybrid Cactus form, and in color a beautiful 
pure glowing scarlet. The habit of the plant is 
all that can be desired, growing, with us, about 
four and one-half feet in height. The gigantic 
flowers, which are produced freely, are held erect 
on strong stems of wiry stiffness, making it a 
most effective and useful variety for cutting, as 
well as for garden decoration. “Kalif” is the 
first variety that has had the distinction of re¬ 
ceiving the National German Dahlia Societies’ 
highest award—a silver medal. This variety 
bears my highest recommendation. $1.00 each. 
Wodan. New German Cactus Dahlia. Beautiful 
large broad flowers, frequently measuring seven 
inches in diameter. The blossoms are of true 
Hybrid Cactus type, distinct in shape, and splen¬ 
didly built. The graceful arrangement of its 
semi-dncurved tubular petals, of a pleasing, del¬ 
icate salmon-rose color, blending to old gold at 
center, completes this model of perfection. 35 
cents each, $3.50 per dozen.
