“MAFFIE” 
MAFFIE (Exnar-Johnson) S. C. The sensation of the season. Massive 
blooms of intense red having perfect semi-cactus form. A clean strong 
growing plant of about 6 feet in height with insect resisting leaves. 
The flowers are held on long strong stems well above the foliage. The 
blooms have consistently averaged 13 inches in diameter by 8 inches in 
depth, and this dahlia has the necessary requirements to produce larger 
flowers. Already winner as the largest and, best bloom at three of our 
better shows. Begins to bloom early and continues to flower throughout 
the season which feature is lacking with most giant flowering dahlias. 
Having ideal growth, formation and size makes this variety the dahlia of 
the year. We can look forward without hesitation to see this dahlia 
become one of our leading prize winners. The five blooms displayed at 
Camden, N. J. which won the “American Home achievement medal were 
really a sight to see. Surely this dahlia deserves a place in your garden.
