We offer below a choice list of Cactus Dahlias which have proved to bloom well 
under varying conditions. They are all excellent cut-flower varieties, as well as splendid 
varieties for garden decoration. While numerous Dahlia enthusiasts are growing the Deco¬ 
rative type of Dahlias on account of their massiveness, the Cactus Dahlia is still pre¬ 
ferred by many flower-lovers on account of its artistic appearance.
