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.

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.
