BURPEE'S DAHLIA ROOTS 
Each year on our Fordhook Farms we try out hundreds of varieties of dahlias and select those that are the 
best growers, freest bloomers, and which we recommend as the best for you to plant. All are listed here, with 
some outstanding varieties that we ourselves have created. Whether you select the massive Decorative, the 
lovely Cactus, or the small Pompon varieties, you will be delighted with the results, whether for garden dis¬ 
play or cut-flower purposes. We supply strong root divisions from field-grown clumps. 
The .American Dahlia Society has adopted a classification for all dahlias according to the formation of the 
flowers. After each name we use initials to denote the class to which that variety belongs. Thus: 
F. D. = Formal Decorative; I. D. == Informal Decorative; C = Cactus; S. C. = Semi-Cactus.
