TRUE CACTUS DAHLIAS.
The Cactus Dahlias have become very popular and deservedly.
Hybridizers the world over have been devoting extra attention to
them so that the improvement is very marked both in form and
coloring. In the latter particular this type shows more varia
tion and pleasing combinations that is found in the others. The
flowers are borne airly on long stems, they are "lighter than
the others, more loosely formed, more graceful, consequently
are of the greatest value for cut flowers. The petals are
long and rolled usually to a rounded point; they are in-
curving and erect in many varieties giving great depth
and character to the flowers. We offer a grand and
varied collection.
