'CORAL LADY —Cactus. Everyone who sees this Dahlia says, “the most beautiful 
cactus Dahlia ever grown.’’ Very fine incurving petals which curl and interlace 
over the center, blooms full, good depth and full centers. Color is a very lovely 
clear coral without shading. This Dahlia’s only fault is that stems are wiry 
and not strong enough to hold its blooms erect. The public has demanded that 
this Dahlia be put on the market because of its unusual beauty. It won two 
first prizes 'and one second as the best undisseminated cactus at the shows here 
this fall. Stock limited. Roots, net -$ 2.00 
^WESTERN SUN —Informal Decorative. Huge blooms, ten to twelve inches across 
by five and one-half inches deep. Fine form, petals roll forward in a very pleas* 
ing manner. Color, clear golden orange, deeper at center. Stems erect at al* 
times and hold the blooms well above the foliage. Free bloomer and has insect 
resisting foliage. Has won many prizes, this year and last. This Dahlia was 
tested out in the Mid-West last year with splendid results. Roots-$ 10.00
