STUMPP & WALTER CO., NEW YORK CITY 
NEW AND RARE EXHIBITION DAHLIAS 
The garden-lover who has become interested in Dahlias and vies with his neighbor in excelling him at his local Dahlia show, will be 
interested to know that some of the very high-priced varieties of last year are now available at more attractive prices. Our list of New and 
Rare Exhibition Dahlias has been reduced to those that we consider worthy of a place in every garden, and represents the cream of the finest 
varieties that are available in reasonable quantities. We offer strong tubers for spring delivery. In order to properly describe Dahlias 
listed as to type of flower, we have noted against each variety the following letters; F.D., meaning Formal Decorative; I.D., Informal Decora¬ 
tive; Semi-C., Semi-Cactus; I.C., Incurved Cactus; S.C., Straight Cactus. In order to further describe our meaning, the American Dahlia 
Society explains these classifications as follows; 
Formal Decorative Dahlias (F.D.). Fully double flowers, floral 
rays generally broad, either pointed or rounded at tips, with outer 
floral rays tending to be cupped; all floral rays in a somewhat regular 
arrangement. 
Informal Decorative Dahlias (I.D.). Fully double flowers, 
floral rays generally long, twisted, or pointed and usually irregular 
in arrangement. 
Incmved Cactus Dahlias (I.C.). Fully double flowers with 
the margins of the majority of the floral rays revolute for one-half 
or more of their length, the floral rays tending to curve toward the 
center of the flower. 
Semi-Cactus Dahlias (Semi-C.). Fully double flowers with 
the margins of the majority of the floral rays revolute for less than 
one-half of their length. 
Recurved or Straight Cactus Dahlias (S.C.). Fully double 
flowers with the margins of the majority of the floral rays revolute 
for one-half of their length or more, the floral rays being recurved 
or straight.
