GYPSY GIRL 
DEARIE 
A NEW CUT FLOWER GROUP DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
Dahlias scored B can be grown 6 inches or over with 
good culture. Dahlias scored BB normally grow 4 to 6 
inches. These varieties are popular with florists as they 
are better bloomers than lots of the larger dahlias. This 
size group lends itself best to arrangements, baskets and 
general decorating. Many shows will have BB classes 
for the 4 to 6 inch blooms this season.
