Delightful Dahlias for 1940 
Some say the Dahlia is for men— 
For it all hombres have a yen. 
They’ve worked on color and on size. 
So now they have a big surprise. 
Types of Dahlia 
The CACTUS has pointed petals, often the 
petals rolled or twisted. If petals too broad 
for Cactus, yet not broad enough for Decora¬ 
tive, then we call this the HYBRID CACTUS 
type. The DBCORATIVIS type has broad, flat 
petals and many of them. The SHOW type 
has quilled petals, making a ball-shaped or 
nearly ball-shaped blossom.
