the flowers are thrown w r ell out from the foliage, 
and in this respect is a great improvement.

of a rich golden yellow, marvelously free-bloom¬ 
ing, standing well above the foliage.

the fancy sections; distinct, striking and effect¬ 
ive. The color is unique, bright orange, with a 
band of white running through each petal. 
Viscountess Folkstone. This is a soft primrose 
yellow, deepening towards the centre to deep 
yellow, and sometimes slightly shaded with pink.

startling, yetpleasing, and commands admiration

purple magenta of a pronounced shade, very deep 
and rich.

MRS. PEART * 
Is the first real white Cactus Dahliaeverraised, 
and a marvelous improvement upon every 
variety in cultivation. It stands out in bold relief from all others. The plant is of 
medium growth, exceedingly llorlferous, and the flowers stand clear above the 
loaves—a great advantage, as many of the finer forms of this section.have many 
of the flowers hidden among the foliage. The flowers are of medium size, in form 
a Juarezi, but of the purest white, with a slight tinge of lemon in the centre when 
It first opens; this dies off as the flower advances in age. The cut, which is only 
half natural size, gives a good idea of the form. Price, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz.
