1178. Betscher, C. What dahlia produces the most tubers? Florists' Exchange 49: 

 635. 1920. — As a rule the Show Dahlia produces the heaviest clumps of tubers. In good soil 

 "Bird of Passage" and "Ruby Queen" are heavy yielders. "Mrs. Chas. Turner" (decorative), 

 "Souv. Douzan," and "Nymphae" are also very productive. In each class a few are heavy. 

 The writer has observed that in rich soil and under similar conditions, such as length of 

 season, all yield about the same weight. — Lua A. Minns.
