DAHLIAS AND SEEDS 
NOVELTY AND STANDARD DAHLIAS 
We are using the new Classification of the American Dahlia Society, as follows: 
Cactus (Cac.); Semi-Cactus (S.C.), formerly listed as Hybrid Cactus; Formal Decorative 
(F.D.), those with regular arranged petals; Informal Decorative (I.D.), those with curly 
twisted, irregular arranged petals. 
The varieties listed below are desirable additions to any garden, and regardless of price 
they are all beautiful. The more expensive varieties are higher priced only because there are 
fewer on the market.
