Farr’s Selection of Large-Floweringf Show and Extra-Choice 
Fancy Dahlias 
The Show Dahlias are globular in form, with incurved or quilled petals. They are either of one solid 
color, or they may have two colors, the outer color darker than the ground-color. 
The Fancy Dahlias include all those that are striped and those tipped or edged with a lighter color 
than the ground-color. 
The Show Dahlias are, as a rule, the best bloomers, and the most useful as cut-flowers, their firm 
texture allowing them to be packed and shipped to greater distances than the softer Cactus types. 
Unless otherwise noted, 20c. each, $2 per doz., $15 per 100. One each of the entire list of 
31 varieties, $5.75
