Show and Fancy Dahlias 
This is the old-fashioned ball-shaped Dahlia, large and the best known of all. We know that its 
popularity has diminished and the other forms and types are taking its place. We make no effort to in¬ 
crease our collection; in fact we? have discarded those which are not of superior merit. What is usually 
known as Fancy Dahlia is a tipped or variegated show Dahlia.
