Bears a profusion of tiny vermillion cigar-shaped flowers; 15c and 25c. Cyclamen. Few plants are. more desir- able than this, especially for winter bloom- ing. Considering their ease of culture, great beauty and long season of bloom, they are not seen in general cultivation as .much as they should. Flowers are of exquisitely rich colors from white to dark red with all the intervening shades which bloom continuously from auturn to June. Bloom contrasts with the beautiful varie- gated green and white-ribbed foliage. After blooming all winter, bulbs should be al- lowed to dry and rest throughout the sum- mer. In mixed colors from 15c to $1.00 each. DAHLIAS.

They are selected for their free and con- tinuous flowering qualities, purity of color, perfection of bloom and their adaptability . to ordinary garden culture. The New Cactus , Dahlia Kreim- hilde.
