Gill’s General List of Dahlias 
CACTUS AND HYBRID CACTUS. 
Explanation—Those varieties in our list which are capitalized are the newer introductions. 
Previously we have made a separate list of novelties but believe that this system will be more con¬ 
venient and less confusing. II. C. indicates Hybrid Cactus; these have broader and more massive 
petals. We have numerous other varieties which for lack of space we do not list, but if there are 
other varieties you wish, please write us, as we may have them. The list we have represents the 
world’s best dahlias.
