The Show, Fancy, and Cactus are the most esteemed for exhibition, 

 the Single and Cactus are the most pleasing as flowers, the Pompon 

 and Paeony-flowered are the best for the garden. The last have 

 huge flowers with broad, almost flat florets, and as the blooms are 

 thrown up above the leaves on long, thick stems they are fine plants 

 for making bold colour groups. The Pompon-Cactus are charming 

 for cutting. 



Collarette Dahlias are a small class. They are single flowers, with 

 a ring of short florets round the centre. Star Dahlias are singles 

 with widely diverging florets. These are both modern classes, 

 which may be watched for future developments by Dahlia lovers.
