DAHLIAS FOR EVERYONE 



THE BEST OF NEW AND OLD SORTS IN ALL CLASSES 



Dahlia-growers recognize seven types of Dahlias, differing in the size and 

 formation of the flowers. They may be described briefly as follows: 



DECORATIVE. (D.) Large, symmetrical, full-centered flowers with broad, 

 mostly flat petals. 



CACTUS. (C.) Long, twisted or quilled petals, straight in some varieties 

 and gracefully incurved in others. 



PEONY-FLOWERED. (P.) Flat flowers with broad outer petals and centers 

 open or with a whorl of short petals. 



SHOW or BALL. (S.) The old-fashioned and no longer popular type, with 

 ball-shaped flowers and tubular petals. 



POMPON. (Pom.) Like the Show or Ball Dahlias in form but dwarf in 

 growth and with flowers less than 2 inches in diameter. 



HYBRID CACTUS. (H.C.) A recent and especially attractive class com- 

 bining the floral characteristics of the Decorative and Cactus groups. 



SINGLE. (Sgl.) Like giant daisies with open centers and one or sometimes 

 two rows of broad petals.
