Collectious 
CACTUS DAHLIAS 
For artistic beauty both in the garden and in flower arrangements 
this group excels all others. The small formal cactus (C) varie- 
ties are of spiky form and are ideal for cutting as most have long 
wiry stems. The semi-cactus (SC) and incurved cactus (IC) vary 
considerably in size and many of the recent introductions rival 
the big decoratives in this respect. All possess a certain charm 
and refinement of their own.
