NOTICE 
All bi-color and variegated varieties listed 
throughout the catalog have the tendency to 
throw bud sports reverting to solid color blooms, 
usually of the darker color. (A red and white 
bi-color may be solid red.) At times variegated 
dahlias will produce blooms of blended colors 
as well as solid colors. These bud sports some- 
times only effect one branch of the plant. 
They may continue the same the next season. 
Usually some of the divisions from the clump 
revert back to the variegated or bi-color type, 
however. 
Therefore, we cannot guarantee bi-color and 
variegated dahlias other than explained above.
