URPEE’S DAHLIA ROOTS 
Each year on our Fordhook Farms we try out hundreds of varieties of dahlias 
and select those that are the best growers, freest bloomers, and which we 
recommend as the best for you to plant. All are listed here, with some 
outstanding varieties that we ourselves have created. Whether you 
select the massive Decorative, the lovely Cactus, or the small Pompon 
varieties, you will be delighted with the results. Cultural directions 
are sent with every order for Dahlia roots. We supply strong root 
divisions from field-grown clumps. 
The American Dahlia Society has adopted a classification for all 
dahlias according to the formation of the flowers. After each name 
we use initials to denote the class to which that variety belongs. Thus: 
F. D. = Formal Decorative; I. D. = Informal Decorative; 
Cc. = Cactus; S. C. = Semi-Cactus.
