Semi-Cactus Dahlias 
Semi-Cactus or Hybrid Cactus type flowers are 
fully double but the petals are shorter than those 
of the true Cactus type and are broader and more

prolitic bloomers.

Miniature Dahlias 
This type embraces miniature flowers that are 
represented in the form of many main classes. 
They generally have ideal stems for cutting as 
they show their faces upon good stems and keep 
well in bouquets. They are also very free flower- 
ing. These fascinating and dainty little dahlias 
are rapidly growing in favor as they are more 
adaptable to home decoration than the large flow- 
ered types and are not so formal as the pompoms.
