Breck’s Dahlias 
The modern Dahlia is a flower of great variety. Several distinct types, all equally beautiful, are recognized, 
each of which includes hundreds of varieties in endless shades and combinations of colors. Under proper culture, 
the large-flowered types make husky plants 6 to 8 feet tall which may be used with telling effect at the back 
of perennial borders for superb masses of late Summer and Autumn color, while the bedding types are especially 
good for great, showy masses. The hobbyist, of course, will choose varieties for perfection of bloom, and grow 
each plant as a specimen to secure finest flowers.
