True Cactus Dahlias 
The Cactus Dahlias have become very popular and de¬ 
servedly. 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 particu¬ 
lar this type shows more variation and pleasing combi¬ 
nations than are found in the others. The flowers are 
borne airly on long stems, they are lighter than the 
others, more loosely formed, more graceful, conse¬ 
quently are of the greatest value for cut flowers. The 
petals are long and rolled usually to a rounded 
point; they are incurving and erect in many varie¬ 
ties, giving great depth and character to the flow¬ 
ers. We offer a grand and varied collection.
