BRECK’S DAHLIAS 
The modern Dahlia is a flower of great variety. Each year an endless number of new ones are added to the 
old and to include all in our catalog is an impossibility. We do, however, select, to the best of our ability, the 
finest of them and discard those that we feel have been supplanted. Therefore, we believe that our list will 
furnish the good but inexpensive varieties, suited to the purpose of the amateur and that it will also have 
appeal to the enthusiast who is forever seeking new and better Dahlias. 
With proper culture the large flowered types make husky plants 6 to 8 feet tall. They may be used with 
telling effect at the back of perennial borders for superb masses of late Summer and Autumn color. The miniature 
types, on the other hand, are splendid bedding plants for they grow only to a height of about 2 feet and create 
a charming and colorful display. The hobbyist, of course, will choose varieties for perfection of bloom and will 
grow each plant as a specimen to secure the finest flowers possible.
