Cactus and. Decorative Dablias 
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.

exceptionally large blooms on good stems.

is a deep rich garnet with black shadings. Certified at Storrs with high

California Idol. (1.D.) Each 60c 
A clear, bright self-colored yellow that ranks in size with the largest. 
It may be grown to measure 14 inches or more across, with a corres- 
ponding depth, and yet is an extremely refined flower in every sense. 
This variety has proved to be all that was anticipated when grown in 
the open field. 
Carnival. (F. D.) Each 75c 
A splendid formal flower ot velvety purple, each petal evenly tipped 
white. Most effective and colorful. Good strong grower, fine stems, 
good for cutting. An A-one variety in every respect.

This Dahlia, although classed as an Informal is inclined to be Formal at 
times. Blooms are uniform, large and artistic on long, strong, erect 
stems. Flesh-pink with lighter shadings.

A Dahlia you will enjoy for its sheer beauty rather than size. This Dahlia 
is adapted to home decorations, general florist’s use, basket and ar- 
rangement classes in the show room, as it is a beautiful rose-pink shad- 
ing to creamy white at center. Bush healthy and robust; stems always 
erect and flowering habit ideal.
