New Superb English Cactus Dahlias 
Golden Wave. A magnificent New Cactus Dahlia; 
the flowers being large, charmingly beautiful, 
and perfect for exhibition purposes. Flowers the 
effectively incurved florets are narrow, and ex¬ 
traordinarily numerous ; and the center remains 
perfect long after the blooms are in their prime. 
In color, a rich, deep, pure yellow, a most beau¬ 
tiful color. This variety is one of the best in 
every respect, the plants being splendid, robust 
growers, producing beautiful rich, yellow flowers, 
upon strong, wiry stems. 75 cents each. 
New York, The largest of our new varieties, and 
the term massive is not too strong to describe 
its general appearance. The flowers are beau¬ 
tifully incurved, the florets being very evenly 
distributed; standing 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. The plants make splen¬ 
did specimens, with deep green foliage, and 
carry their flowers on enormous stems, th& 
habit being almost identical to that of “C. 10 
Wilkins” from which it is a seedling. Color, 
sweetest orange yellow in the center, shading 
off to an exquisite deep, bronzy salmon. 75 
cents each. 
Onv ard. A wonderful new variety of absolutely 
unique formation, the florets being very nar¬ 
row and so gracefully and effectively incurved, 
twisted, and interlaced, that at first sight, one 
would think it a chrysanthemum; the petals 
being so long and very tightly quilled, forming 
an almost globular flower. The color is pink 
throughout, delightfully and gradually deepen¬ 
ing from tips to the center. Very few, if any, 
introductions have attracted so much attention, 
both from experts and the general public, 
especially when exhibited at the National Dahlia 
Show. 50 cents each. 
Rosalind. A sterling New Garden Cactus of 
perfect form. In color, a delicate shade of 
rose-pink daintily suffusing to cream in the 
center, faintly tipped white. Beautiful large 
full flowers of regular shape; long, almost 
straight petals, and remarkable substance. One 
of the most reliable. 50 cents each. 
Sweetbriar. A champion Cactus, producing its 
perfect blooms with ease; the flower stem carry¬ 
ing the blooms perfectly upright, and well 
above the foliage. Everyone who sees “Sweet- 
briar” is charmed with its exquisite pink color 
and splendid habit. The plants are literally 
covered with flowers, which makes it an ideal 
garden variety. I highly recommend this vari¬ 
ety, as one of the best to date. 50 cents each.

plants is also very vig¬ 
orous, and the profusion 
of perfect flowers is cer¬ 
tainly remarkable.
