Semi-Cactus Dahlias 
At least a majority of petals rolled at tips only. 
Examples: EDNA FEBER, JEAN TRIMBEE, FRAU BRACHT. 
ELEGANCE. This was the best new variety we purchased last spring. In fact, as it 
grew at our farm, many plants of it, we could find no fault whatever in its quality or perform¬ 
ance. A most artistic container of Dahlia blooms at the Ohio Valley Show was a basket of 
twelve flowers of Elegance. It is well named. It blooms early, every bloom is perfect, every 
stem holds flowers well posed, and it keeps when cut. As a cut or exhibition flower it is much 
more beautiful than as a garden flower. Almost a clear golden yellow. 
Plants $3.75—Roots $7.50 
FRAU O. BRACHT. This cream colored Dahlia that keeps so long when cut is well 
recognized throughout the hot central valleys as one of the best varieties we grow. We used 
it as a commercial cut flower_Plants .75—Roots $1.50 
JEAN TRIMBEE. Very beautiful and very reliable is this deep royal purple. Early 
and free blooming_Plants .50—Roots $1.00

as a cut flower_Plants .50—Roots .75 
PAUL PFITZER. Comparatively new in this country it is one of Europe’s best con¬ 
tributions to the Dahlia. An excellent keeper when cut. Delicate pink with yellow centre. 
Plants $1.00—Roots $2.00 
SATAN. The only fault we can find with Satan is that, a few stems flop. However, its 
great vigor and the many fine flowers on good stems that, it does produce in a season recom¬ 
mend the variety highly_Plants .75—Roots $1.50
