ORCHID FLOWERING DAHLIAS 
This type of dahlia is most interesting, and popular 
for landscape effects, table decorations or graceful, airy 
arrangements. The bushes are compact, free blooming 
and prolific. Most of the flowers are 4 to 5 inches in 
diameter, and bushes are 2 to 3 feet in height except 
where noted. Wonderful for landscape effect when 
pinched out once, but should not be thinned out nor 
disbudded. If Collarette, Orchid Flowering and Single 
dahlias are cut before the pollen shows, they will hold 
their petals and keep for days.
