Decorative Dahlia, Mina Burgle 



GIANT-FLOWERING, or COLOSSAL 

 DAHLIAS 



The Colossal type includes all the giant-flowering Dahlias inter- 

 mediate between the broad, flat-petaled Decorative Dahlia and the 

 common, quilled Show Dahlia. Colossal fully portrays the idea — 

 gigantic flowers of great depth, massive in proportions, and globular 

 in shape; petals are cup-shaped, and placed in exact regularity. 

 Plants are strong, sturdy, and robust.

 tionally deep rose shade; flowers carried erect upon extra-long
