While some of these are recent introductions the majority are varieties which have stood out most prominently for several years as the most desirable for either garden decoration or for cutting for house decoration and which prominent position they still hold. AH of the varieties listed under this heading will be supplied in dormant field roots of proper planting size. California Beauty {Cactus). Probably the nearest approach to a pure copper, a flower of excellent form and dainty appearance produced most prolifically on long stiff wiry stems; a gem in the garden and a splendid cut flower. 75 cts. each. Cigarette (Hybrid Cactus). This distinct and novel Dahlia attracts more atten- tion in our fields than any other varie- gated variety. In color it is 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. $ each. George Walters {Hybrid Cactus). While introduced some ten years afo, it is still one of the most popular large flowered Californians, producing its bloom very freely on long stiff stems, of a pleasing salmon with shrimp-pink shadings; a fine garden variety and good rut flower. 75 cts.
