CHOICE CACTUS DAHLIAS 
We offer below a choice list of Cactus Dahlias which have proved to bloom well 
under varying conditions. They are all excellent cut-flower varieties, as well as splendid 
varieties for garden decoration. While numerous Dahlia enthusiasts are growing the Deco¬ 
rative type of Dahlias on account of their massiveness, the Cactus Dahlia is still pre¬ 
ferred by many flower-lovers on account of its artistic appearance. 
Cactus Dahlia, Paul Pfitzer 
AMBASSADOR. S.C. An outstanding 
Dahlia at many of the Dahlia exhibitions, 
and considered by many as being one of 
the best and most artistic of recent Dahlia 
introductions. Its color is, perhaps, best 
described as a soft yellow at the center, 
with salmon, amber, and pink shadings, 
gradually deepening towards the tips. The 
flowers are of largest size and are set just 
right on perfect stems. A strong grower 
and free bloomer. $1 each, $10 per doz. 
AMERICAN TRIUMPH. I.C. Bright 
clear Oriental red, of large exhibition size. 
The best of its color. 75 cts. each, $7.50 
per doz. 
BALLET GIRL. I.C. A very striking va¬ 
riety as it has flowers of orange tipped 
white, clear orange, and white striped 
orange on the same bush—all large and 
beautiful. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
CALIFORNIA BEAUTY. S.C. Pure cop¬ 
per-colored flower of fine form. Free 
flowering on fine stems. 35 cts. each, $3.50 
per doz. 
COUNTESS OF CLAVERLY. Semi-C. We 
are extremely fortunate in being able to 
offer to our customers this very fine Dahlia 
which is, without doubt, the finest, irre¬ 
sistible, real pink Semi-Cactus Dahlia, 
bearing full flowers, 8 to 10 inches across, 
from early in the season until killed by 
frost. It is a very vigorous grower, with 
fine stems, and a prolific bloomer. The 
flowers are excellent keepers and are even 
more beautiful under artificial light than 
outdoors. A sensation wherever shown. 
$1 each, $10 per doz. 
EMMA MARIE. Semi-C. Lovely clear 
pink, creamy white center; deep, full- 
centered flowers. Blooms freely on fine 
stems. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
F. W. FELLOWES. S.C. We consider this 
one of the best Cactus varieties ever raised. 
The flowers are of unusual size for the 
long, narrow-petaled type, and of intense 
coral-red color with deeper suffusion to¬ 
ward the center. A leader in this type at 
all Dahlia exhibitions or for the garden. 
Excellent as a cut-flower. 75 cts. each, 
$7.50 per doz. 
ELKRIDGE. Semi-C. This large, pure 
white variety is of fine form and great sub¬ 
stance. It flowers very freely on long, 
strong stems. Has won many prizes. 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
LA MEXICANA. Semi-C. A fine free- 
blooming Dahlia of burnt-orange, toning 
to copper, the ends of the petals slightly 
touched with gold. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
LORNA DOONE. I.C. Soft salmon-buff 
with slight pink suffusion. Fine form and 
free flowering. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. 
PAUL PFITZER. C. A straight Cactus 
Dahlia with magnificent giant flowers 
which are borne most freely on strong, 
wiry stems. The color of the dainty, 
graceful petals is a lavender-rose with a 
lovely suffusion of lilac. Toward the base 
the petals are yellow. It is, without ques¬ 
tion, one of the finest introductions of 
recent years. $1 each, $10 per doz. 
ROYCROFT. Semi-C. Large, finely formed 
Semi-Cactus of cinnamon-buff, deepening 
to russet. Very prolific bloomer. Fine 
stems. Vigorous grower. 35 cts. each, 
$3.50 per doz.
