Cackus Hie Decopative Diilian 
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; |. D.—Informal Decorative; C.—Cactus; S. C.—Semi-Cactus; 
St. C.—Straight Cactus.

for exhibition.

ered by many as being one of the best and most artistic of recent 
Dahlia introductions. Its color is, perhaps, best described as a_ soft

deepening towards the tips. The flowers are of largest size and are set 
just right on perfect stems. A strong grower and free bloomer.
