Jersey’s Beauty 
The Most Popular Decorative Dahlia 
Jersey’s Beauty, with a rating of 87, is unquestionably the most popular of the 
Decorative Dahlias. In addition to being magnificent in the garden, it is a great 
favorite as a cut flower. There are by far more of this variety sold by florists than 
any other variety, as there is nothing finer for home decoration. 
The color is a lovely clear pink and the flowers, which last well when cut, are 
of perfect form, borne on long strong stems. The plants bloom early and there is 
a continuous succession of flowers throughout a long season. 
Jersey’s Beauty is typical of the great group of Formal Decorative Dahlias 
described on the next page. Flowers belonging to this group have broad, flat and 
nearly straight rays, either pointed or rounded, in a fairly regular arrangement, the 
outer rows sometimes recurved. Jersey’s Beauty is one of the favorites of this group.
