SUNLIGHT—Cactus. (Ballay) Bright yellow. This is a 
cactus of the Ambassador type, a nice large flower with 
perfect habits. It is just about the freest bloomer we 
have in our garden. There are not many straight 
cactus, finely petaled and with upright stems, and we 
consider this one a very useful addition. Like many 
cactus daldia, however, we do not recommend it for a 
habitually hot, dry climate unless given some shade.

SHENTENCHI—Inc. Cactus. (Japan) The first Japanese 
dahlia to be listed on an honor roll in this country. It 
is a true incurved cactus type, with petals curving all 
the way to the center of the flower. The florets are 
narrow and completely revolute. Color is dark maroon 
on blooms about 7 to 8 inches. We have grown this 
variety three years and it has been a great favorite 
with cur visitors. Nothing like it when compared with 
any other dahlia. Root.$2.00 
SON OF SATAN—Inc. Cactus. This new sensational. 
Four Honor Roll Dahlia. Certificate of Merit winner. 
An immense incurved cactus, flame red, with excellent 
stems. A very vigorous variety that has created quite 
a sensation. The color is hard to improve upon, most 
brilliant and unusual. Blooms are very large and 
always true to type. Very attractive in all respects.

TOWERS EMPIRE—Inf. Dec. Here is one dahlia that 
should be grown in every garden, and one that we can 
very highly recommend. The flowers, which are large 
are of a clear gold in color, with amber shadings in the 
center, and are of good size, and held at a foity-five 
degree angle on exceptionally long, strong, stiff, rigid 
stems, high up and well out of the foliage of the tall 
growing bush. The foliage is very odd, being thick 
and fern-like and is an early and very prolific bloomer. 
A good, strong, vigorous grower, height about 7 to 8 
feet. Root.$2.00 
WHITE ABUNDANCE—Dec. A pure creamy white and 
considered the best from abroad of its color. A dahlia 
which has enormous pure white flowers held erect on 
strong stems well out of the foliage. An excellent 
dahlia for the dahlia shows. Root.$1.50
