All of the Dahlias offered under this heading will be supplied in dormant field roots of proper planting size. Andreas Hofer. A lovely narrow petaled Cactus of ideal form and soft tender coloring. A most delicate shade of pink with salmon suffusion passing to a creamy-white .^ centre. Its stiff wiry long stems and free habit of ^^-• bloom make it invaluable for cut flowers as well as for garden decoration. 75 cts. each. Break O'Day. A good sized flower with a full, high centre, with more or less curved and twisted petals, intermingled with the flatter ones, forming a most attractive, graceful flower. In color, a clear sulphur-yellow, shading to sulphur-white at the tips, early and free-flowering. 50 cts. each. California Beauty. Probably the nearest ap- proach to a pure copper, a flower of excellent form and dainty appearance produced most prolifically on long stiff win,' stems; a gem in the ^ garden and a splendid cut flower. 50 cts. each. ^ ' Cigarette. Creamy white, heavily edged with pomegranate red, but it varies greatly, no two flowers being exactly alike. The petals are long and inclined to roll, forming a large, deep, well-shaped flower of great substance on very long stems of best quality. 75 cts. each. Esther Hunt. A large flower, distinct and beautiful both in form and coloring, the latter being a striking luminous tone of chinese-orange. The flowers are most perfect in form with good full centres. 50 cts. each.
