Delightful Dahlias for 1938 
Five Dahlia Types 
My list includes the five main types as to 
form. CACTUS has pointed petals, often the 
petals rolled or twisted. If petals too broad 
for Cactus, yet not broad enough for Decora¬ 
tive, then we call this the HYBRID CACTUS 
type. The DECORATIVE type has broad, flat 
petals and many of them. The PEONY type 
is similar to Decorative but has fewer petals, 
making the blossoms much thinner. The 
SHOW type has quilled petals, making a ball¬ 
shaped or nearly ball-shaped blossom.
