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. Th 
quality, ability to flower, and “Mrs. Warnaar” is a 
Cactus. 
Mrs. Warnaar. New Holland Cactus Dahlia. A 
“Garden Cactus” of superior quality; heralded 
from Holland, and recommended as one of the 
finest cut-flower 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. Tbe 
flowers are produced upon long, stiff stems, well 
e Holland Dahlia Specialists set as their ideal the 
good example of this, it being an excellent garden 
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. $1.00 each. 
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, com¬ 
bining the grace and refinement of the 
Cactus with the excellence, uprightness, 
and wiry stiffness of the Decorative. 
Gigantic New German 
Hybrid Cactus Dahlias 
These six mammoth New German Hy¬ 
brid Cactus Dahlias created a great sen¬ 
sation this past season, attracting con¬ 
siderable attention wherever exhibited, 
and proving their true character and 
qualities in our fields, where they won 
admiration of all visitors. I cannot rec¬ 
ommend them too highly. 
This collection of six Gigantic New 
German Cactus Dahlias, I will ship, pre¬ 
paid, to any part of North America 
for $4.00. 
BRESLAU. New German Hybrid

tipped white. Very free-flowering.

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 pro¬ 
duced 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 decora¬ 
tion. “Kalif”. is the first variety that 
has had the distinction of receiving the 
National German Dahlia Societies’ high¬ 
est award—a silver medal. This vari¬ 
ety bears my highest recommendation. 
$1.00 each.
