Select Decorative Dahlias 
The Decorative Dahlias are an intermediate form be- 
tween the Show and Cactus types. Many beautiful va- 
rieties have been introduced, some with flat petals, others. 
reflexed, incurved or curiously twisted; but nearly all are 
without formality or stiffness, and practically all of 
them are leaders as cut flowers, bearing their large 
perfectly formed blooms on long, stiff stems, and 
standing in good condition longer than most kinds; 
furthermore, they are of easy culture, and seem to 
adapt themselves to and succeed under the most 
varied conditions; a combination which assures their 
continued popularity.
