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; $.C.—Semi-Cactus; 
St.C.—Straight Cactus.

well when cut. A Dahlia which should be in every planting.

petals; exceptionally large blooms on good stems.

the open field.
