spectacular semi-cactus. It is large and striking in color. Cardinal or deep carmine, with 
a silver reverse showing at the center and tips which make it unusual. Plants grow about 4 V 2 
feet, stems are straight and stiff, dark green foliage. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00

md artistically formed combination of apricot-buff with primrose 
at the base of each petal. Throughout the flowers, and particularly when they are young are 
tints and sometimes stripes of salmon. However, the flower gives a one-toned color effect of 
clear apricot buff. Roots, $7.50; Plants, $3.75

deep violet rose semi- 
cactus. A clear lovely 
color that never blotch¬ 
es. Fine long stems,

the past season. High¬ 
ly recommended.
