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 have 
created. Whether you select the massive Formal or Informal 
Decorative, the iovely Cactus, Semi-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 roof divisions from field-grown clumps which 
are guaranteed to produce satisfactory results or your money will 
be refunded. All roots are sent postpaid. viet a 
The Amefican 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. 
F, D. = Formal Decorative; I. D. = Informal Decorative; C = Cactus; S. C. = Semi-Cactus.
