DAHLIADEL RECOMMENDATIONS 
of Exhibition Dahlias 
For your guidance in selecting the varieties that are 
winning and will win in competitive classes in the s^w 
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.^ 
example, we feel Mother Maytrott is the best white 113 
while Lord of Autumn is the best yellow ID, etc. Va- 
ricties classed as B. Medium are designated by having 
1" or 8" preceding the type. 
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 suc¬ 
cessfully be a midseason bloomer. 
S—'Recommends for the Southern Section with long 
hot summers and intense heat.
