Burpee’s DAHLIA ROOTS 
Each year on our Fordhook Farms we try out hundreds of varie- 
ties 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 our- 
selves have created. Whether you select the massive Decorative, 
the lovely Cactus, or the small Pompon varieties, you will be 
delighted with the results.
