Early Flowering Dahlias 
Almost all the Miniatures, Pom Pons and 
other small flowering dahlias are more or less 
early flowering. However, among the large 
types there is quite a variation and from past 
records we have found the following varieties al- 
ways among the first to bloom every season. 
We hope this selection may help those liv- 
ing in localities where frost may come too early 
in the Fall to allow late varieties to bloom much

GIRAFFE— This odity might be classed as 
a Miniature Decorative, but is really a very 
double Orchid-flowering dahlia of capricious 
form. The bronzy buff petals roll inward, 
showing the reverse side, which is spotted 
and striped with brown crosswise like a neck 
of a giraffe. Extra long lasting on the bush 
with long, wiry stems. 31% ft. 75
