DIANA BOURBON (Kisher & Masson). Cactus. There are very few introductions of this 
type of dahlia in comparison with the more formal, informal and semi¬ 
cactus dahlias, so when one does appear it is judged more critically than other types. Diana 
Bourbon is a lovely flame colored true cactus dahlia that is a joy to see in the garden as well as 
on the exhibition table, due to its lovely coloring and good keeping qualities. Free and early 
bloomer, good habit of growth, stiff straight stems and as large as cactus dahlias usually grow'.
