Decorative Dahlias 



The flowers are full to the center throughout the season. They are 

 thick but not ball-shaped, with broad, flat, somewhat loosely arianged 

 petals. The points are broad or rounded; the tips may be straight or 

 turned down and in some varieties the margins are slightly rolled back. 

 Within recent years this type of Dahlia has been enriched with quite a 

 number of outstanding novelties. Whether used for garden display or 

 for cut flowers they always give the greatest satisfaction. 



Pure clear yellow, the large flowers are very dis- 

 tinct and pleasing, always with a full center. One 

 of the best of its color.
