Marguerite Bouchon. One of the finest pink exhibition dahlias to date. The 
color is a brilliant rose-pink with a delicate white center. The large 
flowers are borne on stiff stems quite well above the foliage. This is 
one of the most pleasing Cactusi dahlias I have ever been able to offer, 
and is sure to 'be the first to attract attention in your garden. 
Nisi Prius. Bright orange-scarlet, with a well-defined yellow center. The 
florets are long, narrow and straight. Flowers early and abundantly. 
Referee. The blooms of this are very large size. They are borne freely 
on long stems. It was admired by all wherever we exhibited this grand 
flower last season. It is of a bright, clear, terra-cotta color, with long 
needle-shaped petals, well incurved, making it a grand exhibition 
variety. 
Rev. Arthur Bridge. Another grand exhibition Cactus; without doubt this 
is one of the grandest large varieties we have yet seen. The coloring 
in this is exceedingly beautiful, being a bright, clear yellow, heavily 
tipped and suffused with deep rose-pink. The petals are long and very 
much incurved, making it very attractive and can be recommended as 
first-class. 
Rosa Starr. This is one of the grandest cut flower varieties to date. It will 
stand fully as long after being cut as any other variety in existence. 
The flowers are large and full. The color is a bright lilac-pink; the 
form is of the true Cactus type, making it one of the most useful yet 
out. Very free. 
Royal Scarlet. This, as its name denotes, is a pure scarlet. The florets are 
very narrow, good length, and a strong grower. Is the best of its color 
for an exhibition flower. 
Rev. T. W. Jamieson. This is one of the best dahlias I have ever sent out, 
and whether for first-class exhibition or any other purpose, it will be in 
the front rank. It is a strong grower, producing flowers of the largest 
size, on stiff wiry stems. The blooms are moderately incurved in form 
and the florets fluted right to the center. The coloring is also of the 
best. The central younger and unopened petals being yellow, but this 
quickly changes to lilac-rose; the older florets having edgings of deeper 
color, and the extreme tips are yellow. 
Satisfaction. This is a real acquisition, especially for its color, which is a 
beautiful rose-pink shade, approaching to white in the center, giving 
the flower a delicate appearance. 
Snowdon. A grand flower of the purest white, possessing great quality, 
and producing large flowers on graceful stems. Very free. 
Saxonia. In this we have a splendid deep crimison, very large, with fine 
florets carried well above the foliage. This variety won many prizes 
last season. 
Snowstorm. This is a large, bold, white flower of the finest form, which is 
moderately incurved. The plant is of dwarf habit, producing flowers in 
great profusion. Very distinct. Fine for exhibition. 
T. G. Baker. Is one of the grandest, clear yellow cactus ever introduced. 
It is a very large, bold flower, with good stems. One of the best to date. 
White Swan. This variety has been aptly named. The flowers are pure 
white, and borne on long graceful stems, well above the foliage. Extra 
fine form. Very large.
