J. K. Alexander , E. Bridgewater , Massachusetts E. Bridgewater Dahlia Gardens 
Up-to Date Cactus Dahlias for 1922 
These ten recent introductions I will send prepaid for $12.00. They are among the best samples of 
the Cactus Dalhia to date. 
ALICE B. RAND. (Alexander) 
(Incurved Cactus). An ex¬ 
quisite shade of rose, much deeper 
than Tyrian rose, passing to a 
deeper shade at the tips. The 
flowers are perfectly formed and 
of moderately incurved shape. 
The plants are of good height and 
produce their blooms on long, 
wiry stems. This new creation 
received an Honorable Mention at 
the September, 1919 exhibition of 
the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society at Boston, Mass. $3.00 
each. 
BERTRAM S. VARIAN. (Alex¬ 
ander) (Incurved Cactus.) Named 
for and with the permission of 
Mr. Bertram S. Varian of Weiser, 
Idaho. A very brilliant, deep 
scarlet of the moderately incurved 
form, of good size on long stems. 
This is one of the freest flowering 
Dahlias in my new list, and this 
fact combined with its brilliant 
coloring will make it especially 
conspicuous and attractive in 
any garden. $1.00 each. 
BIANCA (Hybrid.) (See illus¬ 
tration. A new Cactus Dahlia of 
large size and splendid form. Col¬ 
oring is beautiful rose-lilac with 
white shadings and bloom is held 
perfectly erect on strong, stiff 
stems. Free-flowering. One of 
the most satisfactory garden 
varieties, and one I can highly 
recommend. An early and con¬ 
tinuous bloomer. $1.00 each. 
BOWENTUFTS (Alexander.) 
(Incurved Cactus). The flowers George Walters—Hybrid Cactus Dahlia. $1.00 each 
are of gigantic size, being a bright 
capucine orange blending to a 
bright golden orange in the center with yellow reflex. 
Very stately, good stems. $3.00 each. 
CURLEW (Burrell) (Incurved). A distinct and pleas¬ 
ing old-rose color with very long florets incurving over 
the center. $2.00 each. 
CYGNET. (Burrell) (Incurved). A beautiful lemon- 
yellow at center gradually shading off to a paler shade 
of the same color, exquisitely striped and splashed 
bright scarlet-red. This variety is one of the very 
finest Cactus Dahlias. The stems are long and stiff 
and carry the blooms well above the foliage. The 
flowers are of large size and the petals are tightly 
quilled and gracefully incurving. Very abundant 
bloomer. $2.00 each. 
F. W. FELLOWS (Stredwick) (Incurved). This 
variety produces huge flowers in profusion. The 
petals are narrow, straight and very numerous, 
allowing the blooms to remain full until long past 
their prime. The growth and habit are all that could 
be desired. Color a bright orange-scarlet through¬ 
out. $1.00 each. 
GEORGE WALTERS. (Carter). (Hybrid Cactus.) 
(See illustration, this page.) This is the most won¬ 
derful Dahlia ever offered. It is a Hybrid Cactus of 
(For description see this page.) 
exquisite coloring, being a bright salmon pink, 
artistically suffused with old gold. It is the largest 
Hybrid Cactus ever introduced. The flowers are 
borne on long, stiff, wiry stems, well above the foliage. 
It won a gold medal for best single flower in one of the 
largest shows in 1917. $1.00 each. 
NATALIE ALSOP. (Alexander) New Cactus 
Seedling. Named expressly for and by special 
permission of Miss Natalie Alsop, in recognition of 
her great love for beautiful flowers. This new 
variety is a wonderfully pleasing creation, possessing 
all the good qualifications of the Dahlia. The flowers 
are most beautiful—a lively deep rose-pink, daintily 
blending to snow-white at the center. One of the 
greatest charms is the manner in which it carries its 
flowers; they being produced on very graceful, wiry 
stems. Plants are robust and sturdy, growing to an 
average height of 4 feet. $2.00 each. 
TOM LUNDY. (Fenton) An introduction from Cal¬ 
ifornia and one of the largest Hybrid Cactus Dahlias 
grown. Of a dark velvety red, the blooms are held 
on long, stiff stems. A sensational novelty. Price, 
$1.00 each.
