DAHLIAS 
Dahlias grown in California are without doubt the 
best obtainable, owing to the long growing season. 
The long succession of mild days in our summer 
season is of untold benefit to these plants, inducing 
the formation of perfect tubers, which assure the pur¬ 
chaser of the utmost in value and satisfactory results. 
Typ es of Dahlias 
Dahlias are divided into the following types as 
classified by the American Dahlia Society: 
1 . FORMAL DECORATIVE. Double flowers, full to 
the center; outer petals usually flat and inner ones 
rounded; regular in arrangement. 
2. INFORMAL DECORATIVE. Fully double flow¬ 
ers, often irregular in arrangement and with long, 
twisted or pointed petals. 
3. CACTUS. Fully double flowers with long narrow 
petals, which are rolled or curved more than half 
their length. 
4 . SEMI-CACTUS. Fully double flowers; half-way 
between the Cactus and the Informal Decorative. 
5. PEONY. Semi-double flowers, with yellow center; 
the outer petals are unusually broad and flat, wh le 
the inner ones twist and curl around the center. 
7. SINGLE. This type has only one row of petals 
surrounding an open yellow center.
