ORIGINATORS AND INTRODUCERS of Dahlias are 
indicated by abbreviated names directly following the 
name of the dahlia. Table of Abbreviations will be 
found on Page 48. The first name is that of the orig- 
inator, the second the introducer. A single name only 
means the originator is also the introducer. Foreign 
Dahlias in most cases just have the country indicated. 
The score following the originator’s name is com- 
piled in accordance with the Score Sheet found on 
Page 28. A dahlia must score 85 to be certified. We 
seldom keep a variety falling below 84, while few 
dahlias score over 86. Therefore many varieties carry 
the approval score of 85.
