Select Decorative Dahlias 



The Decorative Dahlias are an intermediate form 

 between the Show and Cactus types. Many beautiful 

 varieties have been introduced, some with flat petals, 

 others reflexed, incurved or curiously twisted; but 

 nearly all are without formality or stiff"ness, and prac- 

 tically 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, ihey are of easy culture, and seem to 

 Edapt themselves to and succeed under the most varied 

 conditions; a combination which assures their con- 

 tinued popularity.
