arranged, and surrounding a golden disc similar to that of the singles. 
The earliest flowers to open are sometimes almost or quite double in some of 
the varieties mentioned below, and mieht then be classed as Decorative Dahlias 
(Class VIII.), but in all grouped together here the majority of the flowers pro- 
duced conform to the type defined above.
