AMSTERDAM—Inc. Cactus. Bordering on the semi- 
cactus type. This large, deep Dahlia we consider on a 
par with the best red semi-cactus or cactus in existence 
today. We have seen some of the new red cactus 
Dahlias going on the market and none can compare

produces several blooms of exhibition size with no dis¬ 
branching or disbudding. The blooms are carried high 
above the bush on long stiff stems. Hoot.$1.50
