somed and were the finest I ever saw."

"Dear Sir; Last year I ordered 35 Dahlias of you, and 
they were by far the most satisfactory of any I secured. 
They were promptly forwarded, and arrived in good condition 
and were the earliest bloomers I had."

Dahlia Grower. 
Classification 
of Dahlias 
Dahlias are dlvWede into six general 
classes. 
Class 1. Cactus. — This class em- 
braces the long, narrow-petaled va- 
rieties, the petals of whicli are gen- 
erally pointed or twisted. 
Class 2. Decorative (so called for 
want of a better name). This class 
is an intermediate form, having broad, 
flat petals, and was formerly classed 
with the Cactus lists. 
Class 3. Fancy. — This class takes in 
all \'ariegated varieties. 
Class 4. Pompon. — This class em- 
biaees the small, round Dahlias, the 
plants of which are generally of a 
dwarf, bushy habit. The lines of this 
i lass, however, are not clearly drawn. 
Class 5. Show.— The name Show 
generally applies to those varieties 
producing large, well-formed flowers, 
showing only solid colors, but may 
fieiiui'utly have .shaded tips. 
Class 6. Single. — Too well known 
to require a description. 
Note. — There is of neces.sity more or 
less overlapping among the classes, 
and the above rules only apply in 
general.
