MRS. HENRY RANDLE 
We can riglitly term this a model Dahlia. 
The coloring is one of the sweetest imaginable, 
being pale cream at center, quickly changing 
to a lovely rose tint, distinctly tipped creamy 
white. The florets are tiglitly quilled and 
very gracefully incurved. The plant is ex¬ 
ceptionally healthy, having an upright and 
pleasing style of growth. $i.oo each. 
SCORPION 
One of the most sensational of the in¬ 
curved Cactus Dahlias. A flower of abso¬ 
lutely. unique formation, the fiorcts being 
very narrow and so gracefully and effec¬ 
tively incurved, twisted and interlaced 
as to almost meet in the center. At first 
sight, one would think it a Chrysanthe¬ 
mum. The blossoms are of medium size 
and of a beautiful clear yellow color. 
This variety is a great favorite with 
specialists abroad, especially appealing to 
the lovers of irregularly formed Cactus 
Dahlias. 50c. each. 
RICHARD BOX 
A clear, light, soft shade of yellow. This 
variety blossoms early and maintains a 
steady average of fine flowers throughout the 
season. Adoclerately ineurved. $1.00 each. 
SYLVIA 
Beautiful deep pink, blending to pale 
lemon at the center. Petals long and slightly 
incurved. $1.00 each. 
THE IMP 
This wonderful introduction is best described as 
“The Black Dahlia,” tlie color being as near black 
as any we have ever seen in Cactus Dahlias. A 
beautifully formed flower with long, claw-likc petals 
and exceptionally good incurved form. The flowers 
arc large, wonderfully gorgeous and so dark that 
they have gained the name “The Black Dahlia.” 
This variety is one of the best in every respect, the 
plants being splendid, robust growers and remark¬ 
ably free flowering. 75c. each. 
Giant Hybrid Cactus Dahlias 
The Hybrid Cactus Dahlias are the giants of the Cactus type, much larger than any 
of the other Cactus. They are the latest creation in Dahlias and possess good habit and 
great ability to blossom. They are importations from all parts of the world and coin- 
bined make a collection unsurpassed for either garden decoration, cut flowers, or exhibi¬ 
tion purposes. 
ATTRACTION 
A large, elegant flower of a clear lilac-rose. The 
habit is perfect, with long, strong stems, holding the 
blossoms stiff and uj^right. The long, still stems of 
the Hybrid Cactus Dahlias make them far superior 
to all other Cactus Dahlias. $1.00 each. 
BIANCA 
A new, free flowering Dahlia of large size and 
splendid form. The coloring is a bcautilul rose-lilac 
with white shadings. The blossoms are held per¬ 
fectly erect on long, stiff, wiry stems, well above 
the foliage. $1.00 each. 
GEORGE WALTERS 
This variety is the most wonderful Dahlia ever 
offered and truly the finest of the Hybrid Cactus 
type. It has the long, broad quilled petals typical 
of all this type and the most exquisite coloring im¬ 
aginable, a bright salmon-pink, artistically suffused 
with old gold. The flowers are produced on long, 
stiff, wiry stems, well above the foliage.^ It won the 
gold medal for the largest and best specimen Dahlia 
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, where it was 
first exhibited. We have just been able to secure a 
stock and feel we have sufficient to meet all de¬ 
mands, but would recommend that orders be placed 
early. $1.00 each.
