CLASSIFICATION 
As an aid to exhibitors, we have listed each of the large varieties in this catalogue, 
under the color and type classification as set up by the CENTRAL STATES DAHLIA 
SOCIETY. While we do not agree with the authors of this classification in every respect, 
we feel that it is the best and most comprehensive work of this nature, and a great aid in 
making entries with a minimum of confusion. Since the classification is undergoing 
revision from time to time, exhibitors are cautioned to check against the latest list issued 
by the CENTRAL STATES DAHLIA SOCIETY.
