Edward Drurey—Incurved Cactus Dahlia (See page 12) 
Marathon. One of the largest of the Incurved 
Cactus Dahlias; color, yellow at center shading 
off to deep rose and distinctly tipped white; the 
plants are robust with deep green foliage. Mod¬ 
erately incurved. 25 cents each. 
Meteor. A fancy Cactus Dahlia, with white ground, 
splashed, striped and spotted with violet-purple. 
Very attractive. Moderately incurved. 35 cents 
each. 
Mercury. The finest Fancy Cactus Dahlia in ex¬ 
istence. The flowers are of unusual formation, 
being beautifully incurved. The petals are nar¬ 
row and very tightly quilled, and so gracefully 
incurved that at first sight one would think it a 
chrysanthemum. Exceedingly attractive flowers 
of deep yellow at base shading to a delicate 
lighter yellow at tips ; the whole being thickly 
striped, splashed and speckled with rich crimson. 
50 cents each. 
MRS. F. GRINSTEAD. A deep, rich crimson with 
just a suspicion of purplish shading. Petals 
incurved, flowers of large exhibition size. 25 
cents each. 
Mrs. McMillan. White in the center, deepening 
pink at the tips; incurved form. 2 5 cents 
each. 
Mrs. T. W. Willis. White in the center with 
edgings of lilac on the younger florets, the 
greater part of the bloom being rose-lilac. Mod¬ 
erately incurved. 35 cents each. 
New York. The flowers are beautifully incurved, 
the florets being very evenly distributed; stand¬ 
ing out like a circular array of spears or, as 
one report describes it, as if worked 
up geometrically; while the center 
is a picture of perfection. Color, 
sweetest orange yellow in the cen¬ 
ter, shading off to an exquisite deep, 
bronzy salmon. 50 cents each. 
NISI PRIUS. A very novel combina¬ 
tion, of orange-red and fawn to 
plum, with a blending of golden 
yellow at center. Moderately in¬ 
curved. Flower of large size. 25 
cents each.

free. Slightly incurved. 20 cents

yellow, heavily tipped and suffused 
with deep rose-pink. Beauti¬ 
fully incurved. 35 cents each. 
REV. ARTHUR HALL. Flow¬ 
ers of largest size, with long, 
very narrow florets which in¬ 
curve ; color ruby-crimson, re¬ 
lieved at the points of petals 
by showing the lighter tinge 
of the reversing color. 25 
cents each. 
Ruby Grinstead. The center is 
a soft tone of yellow which is 
gradually suffused until it becomes 
a rich shade of rose-fawn, the out¬ 
er incurving petals being a very 
light salmon-pink, making it very 
attractive. 25 cents each. 
Satisfaction. A clear and beautiful 
rose pink, approaching white in the 
center. 35 cents each. 
SWEETBRIAR. A champion Cactus, 
producing its perfect blooms with 
ease; the flower stem carrying the 
blooms perfectly upright, and well 
above the foliage. Everyone who 
sees “Sweetbriar” is charmed with 
its exquisite pink color and splendid 
habit. The plants are literally cov¬ 
ered with flowers, which makes it 
an ideal garden variety. I highly 
recommend this variety as one of the best to 
date. 50 cents each. 
Snowdon. Purest white. 50 cents each. 
Stormer. A scarlet of the finest form. One of 
the most reliable varieties to date. 35 cents 
each.

Dahlia, possessing great merit. The color, a 
soft, reddish-fawn, suffused with amber, outer 
petals being salmon-pink. Petals are of re¬ 
markable length, very narrow, and beautifully 
quilled. A Dahlia which I can highly recom¬ 
mend. 35 cents each.

character. Beautiful deep orange artistically 
tipped pure white. The petals are fringed or 
nitched and very gracefully incurved. 50 cents 
each.

blush ground, freely striped and splashed red 
and purple. 35 cents each.
