TRUE CACTUS DAHLIAS. 
The Cactus Dahlias have become very popular and deservedly. 
Hybridizers the world over have been devoting extra attention to 
them so that the improvement is very marked both in form and 
coloring. In the latter particular this type shows more varia¬ 
tion and pleasing combinations that is found in the others, rhe 
flowers are borne airly on long stems, they are lighter than 
the others, more loosely formed, more graceful, consequently 
are of the greatest value for cut flowers. The petals are 
long and rolled usually to a rounded point; they are in¬ 
curving and erect in many varieties giving great depth 
and character to the flowers. We offer a grand and 
varied collection.
