Cactus Dahlia Skagerhak Gorg^eous l^e^v French Dahlia Cainille Frachon There is no Dahlia fancier who will not stop repeatedly to admire that fascinating Peony-flowered variety Meyerbeer, and while Camille Frachon in no way resembles Meyerbeer, it shows a certain close relationship which, if it is possible, will give Camille Fra:hon even greater popularity. It is unquestionably one of the most distinct and novel in troductions of the veteran French hybridizer, Rozaine-Bouch arlet, to whose efforts we are indebted not only for many advances made in Dahlias but also in many other flowering plants. Camille Frachon most frequently appears in Peony form, though at times its flowers are of Duplex Cen- tury and again they may appear as giant singles, but no matter in which form they appear tliey are equally handsome. No other Dahlia has attracted so much attention in our grounds during the past two seasons; it is not only distinct in its general make-up, but in its gorgeous color as well. In size, it will average under ordinary cultivation from 6 to 7 inches in diameter, of an intense glistening aniline-red deepening to a rich garnet, which forms a much rayed halo around the yellow disc. The entire flower is overlaid with a sil- very sheen, which intensifies its coloring, giving it a richness difficult to describe.
