The American Dahlia Society has adopted a classification of all Dahlias 
according to the formation of the flowers, and after each name we give 
a key showing the class to which the variety belongs. Thus: F. D.—Formal 
Decorative; I. D.—Informal Decorative; C.—Cactus; S. C.—Semi-Cactus; 
St. C.—Straight Cactus.

flowers from 7 to I 0 inches in diameter, and 4 to 6 inches thick, making 
tremendous flower. Stems very strong and stiff, moking it ideal for 
cutting and decorative purposes, as well as one of the largest and best 
for exhibition.
