DAHLIADEL RECOMMENDATIONS 
of Exhibition Dahlias 
For your guidance in selecting the varieties that are 
winning and will win in competitive classes in the show 
room we are submitting the following tabulation. The 
varieties are placed under color classes and then the 
types under their respective colors. Varieties are list¬ 
ed under each type in their order of preference. For 
example, we feel Mother Maytrott is the best white ID 
while Lord of Autumn is the best yellow ID, etc. Var¬ 
ieties classed as B. Medium are designated by having 
7 " preceding the type. (See A.D.S. Classification of 
Dahlias, page 28). 
WHITE 
N Recommends that variety for the Northern Sec¬ 
tion of the U. S. and Canada with a rather short grow 
ing season of 90 to 120 days. 
M—Recommends for the Middle Section of the U. S. 
where summers are dry and hot in places with a grow¬ 
ing season of 120 to 180 days where a dahlia can sue- 
cessfully be a midseason bloomer. 
S Recommends for the Southern Section with long 
hot summers and intense heat.
