Mrs. Henry Randle. New Incurved 
English Cactus Dahlia. We can 
rightly term this a model 
Dahlia. The flowers are of 
medium size, so great that we 
anticipate this will be one of 
the best all-round Cactus Dahl¬ 
ias in existence. The coloring 
is one of the sweetest possible, 
being pale cream at center, 
quickly changing to a lovely 
rose tint, and distinctly tipped 
creamy white. The florets are 
tightly quilled and very grace¬ 
fully incurved. The plant is 
exceptionally healthy, having 
an upright and pleasing style 
of growth, the flowers being 
carried perfectly, well above 
the foliage. $1.00 each. 
Nantwich. New Incurved Eng¬ 
lish Cactus Dahlia. With this 
variety the habit is a great 
feature, as well as the flower, the 
growth being upright and the 
flower stem particularly strong. 
The blossoms are of incurved 
form, the florets being evenly 
placed, and unusually good in 
texture. The color is a beautiful 
golden orange, somewhat deeper 
in the center. A genuine Dahlia 
in every way. $1.00 each. 
Rev. Alfred H. Lowe. New In¬ 
curved English Cactus Dahlia. 
(See illustration on page 9.) 
Produces large, well built flowers 
of the very highest type of In¬ 
curved Cactus Dahlia. The flor¬ 
ets are long, tightly quilled, and so perfectly 
incurved as to almost meet in the center. The 
color is chiefly pure yellow, but the outer florets 
and the tips of 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. 
Scorpion. Wonderful New Incurved English Cac¬ 
tus Dahlia. One of the most sensational of the 
incurved Cactus Dahlias. A flower of absolutely 
unique formation, the florets being very narrow, 
and so gracefully and effectively incurved, 
twisted, and interlaced as to almost meet in 
the center. At first sight one would think it a 
Chrysanthemum, the florets or petals being so 
long and so incurved and twisted, forming an 
almost globular flower. The blossoms are of 
medium size, and of a beautiful clear yellow 
color. This variety is a great favorite with 
specialists abroad, especially appealing to the 
lovers of irregularly formed Cactus Dahlias. 
$1.00 each. 
URANUS. New Incurved English Cactus Dahlia. 
(See illustration on page 8.) A very large 
blossom 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 most beautiful exhibition flower of finest 
incurved form, and is destined to become one of 
the most popular. The quantity of blossoms 
produced is surprising. “Uranus” is a Fancy 
Cactus Dahlia, the ground color being creamy 
white, thickly speckled and striped rosy-pink to 
vermilion-scarlet. One of the finest Fancy va¬ 
rieties of the incurved type. A beautiful speci¬ 
men. $1.00 each.
