PREFACE

THE American Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomencla- ture was formed in 1915 by committees of the American Association of Nurserymen and of the Ornamental Growers' Association. Gradually enlarging in scope and representative char- acter, its present make-up is as indicated on page xv.

Purposes. As first constituted, the stated purpose of the Com- mittee was to "make buying easy" by bringing about, so far as prac- ticable, the consistent use of a single standardized ''scientific" name, and a single standardized "common" name for every tree, shrub, and plant in American commerce.

Related subjects which the Committee has had under con- sideration are a standard list of plant name abbreviations, and, of far greater importance, a well-organized mechanism for the registration and identification of horticultural varieties and the adoption of standard rules of nomenclature for the guidance of those naming new horticulturaWarieties.

Statement of the Problem. Included in its first publication in 1917 was the following statement by the Committee:

Practical Importance of Stability in Nomenclature. The confusion of names in the horticultural plant world is at present so great as to clog popular plant knowledge and actually to limit to no small degree the use of certain trees, shrubs, and flowers in our American plantings. The consequent loss to the tradesman and planter is obvious. For example, take the common \'irginia creeper: We find this catalogued in 1916 under no less than six Latin l^ino- mials — Ampelopsis quinquefolia, A. virginica, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, P. virginica, Vitis hederacea, and P seder a quinquefolia, while as common names we have Woodbine, American Woodbine, Virginia Creeper, American Ivy, Common Virginia Creeper, Virginian Creeper, Wild Woodvine, and Five- fingered Ivy. Today both American and foreign nursery catalogues are filled largely with confused and contradictory lists of plant names, while popular books on gardening and horticulture and the horticultural press themselves are at sea, and little if any better off than the tradesman. It is thus often impossible for the buyer to know whether he will get what he has in mind when placing an order, or something entirely different.

Further, owing to the differing names under which both new and old plants are often catalogued, described, and disseminated, the plantsman and buyer become perplexed and discouraged, and proper interest is not awakened. This often results in the over-use of the commoner and less worthy trees and plants to the exclusion of many beautiful things.

Causes of Confusion. Even when there is complete and well-established agreement among botanists as to the classification and naming of any given plant, mistakes by nurserymen or dealers in identification and labeling are hable to occur, giving rise to much confusion. When a dealer, either through

(v)

m\'

vi STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES

ignorance or accident, sends out a comparatively unknowTi plant labeled with the name of some other little-known plant, the misapplied name is likely to follow the first plant and become established in trade.

A striking case of this sort is that of the tree so widely disseminated for street planting under the common name "Carohna Poplar." Experts on the poplar state that this is probably Populus eugenei, sl hybrid originated in Europe, and that the native Carolina Poplar practically never passes in the trade under that name. In this extreme case the transferred name is so uni- versally accepted by the trade that an attempt to correct the original mistake would be inadvisable at present.

When, however, a plant has been widely distributed under the name of some other plant, through a mere mistake in identification, and the plant whose name was mistakenly apphed to the other is also in cultivation, there is serious confusion, which can usually best be settled by correcting the original mistake even if it has become widely accepted.

Botanists Disagree. Other causes than mistaken identification of plants have contributed to the existing confusion. These involve differences of opinion and of practice among botanists in regard to plant names when there is no question at all about the identity of the plants. For one thing, in doubtful cases they are not yet wholly agreed upon the rules or "code" which shall apply, to decide which of two or more names shall stand; but these differences are comparatively few. Much more important are differences of personal judgment among botanists as to what constitutes in any given case a sufficient difference between two groups of related plants to place them in different genera; for example, whether the known difference between apples and pears is enough to separate them into two genera, Malus and Pyrus, or is so shght that they should be consolidated into a single genus. The same sort of dif- ference in judgment arises as to what constitutes a sufficient difference to call for separation into distinct species, and as to what are of varietal rank. These differences are inevitable and are independent of rules or other arbi- trary decisions.

For example, Azalea is now classed under Rhododendron by some botan- ists, yet for trade reasons it seems inexpedient to catalogue the Azaleas as Rhododendrons.

Why Botanical Names Change. Probably the most important cause of changes in botanical nomenclature in recent years is the constant collection of new evidence as to the facts. This evidence is of two sorts: evidence found in botanical literature as to the first proper description and naming of each kind of plant, and evidence as to the structure and habits of the plants them- selves. When any group of plants is studied more carefully and thoroughly than before, new facts are sure to be discovered which may alter the classifi- cation and nomenclature based on previous incomplete knowledge.

Absolute and permanent fixity of botanical nomenclature, therefore, cannot be insured by any arbitrary agreement.

General Basis of the Committee's Work. In the face of the above facts the representatives of the organizations constitut- ing this Committee have decided that the only practicable rem- edy is, for purposes of practical convenience in the horticultural trades, to agree arbitrarily upon some one name for each plant, by

PREFACE vii

which name it can he designated for a definite term of years, with provision for revising and correcting the Hst at probably five- or ten-year intervals, after due notice to all concerned.

In this catalogue it should be noted that this necessary arbi- trary agreement upon a name does not imply criticism of any bo- tanical authority. The Committee has been at the greatest pains to inform itself concerning the usage of the best authorities, and it has in most cases followed the usage of such authorities. In a few cases, and for reasons deemed adequate, deliberate departure from such usage has occurred. It should be noted that two codes of botanical nomenclature are in use among botanists— the American Code and the International, or Vienna, Code.

Official Code of 1917. In the winter of 1915-1916 the Commit- tee took advantage of an opportunity afforded by the publication of the sixth volume of the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture, in which Dr. L. H. Bailey, its editor, included a Finding List of Latin or Latinized binomials commonly used in North American literature and commerce, with their equivalents in the Cyclopedia. The Committee was permitted, through the courtesy of Dr. Bailey, to insert in this list ''stars" to indicate the names recom- mended by the Committee as the standard names for use in the horticultural trades for a considerable number of plants, mainly trees and shrubs. A reprint of the hst as it appeared in the Cyclopedia was distributed as the 1917 Official Code of Standardized Plant Names, and has been extensively adopted and used. It is now superseded by this work, which records in the slight changes that may be observed the orderly progress of name revision above referred to.

Subsequent Work. The matter rested during the war, but in 1919 the Committee took up its work seriously, and after much labor and many delays due to the constant enlargements in scope and the ramifications of the subject, it has brought this work to the point of the present publication, which contains not only a vastly increased list of scientific names, including herbaceous as well as woody species, but also their approved common names, and the approved names of great numbers of horticultural varieties.

Horticultural Necessity and Convenience Paramount. What the Committee seeks to do is not to hamper the progressive correction and improvement of botanical nomenclature, and least of all the freedom of research, publication, and discussion among taxo- nomic botanists; but rather to provide a convenient and prac-

viii STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES

ticable means for bringing the matured results of such scientific research into use in the horticultural trades without damage and by agreement at definite periods.

The Basis Adopted. For many reasons, not the least of which was convenience in attaching each name to a generally accessible description, the Committee adopted as a general basis the scientific names given in Bailey's Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture, and whenever the approved scientific name in this work differs from the Cyclopedia name, the latter is given in parentheses followed by the abbreviation ''Cy." Similarly, whenever a name in this work differs from the name applied to the same plant by the Economic Herbarium of the United States Department of Agri- culture, the latter is given in parentheses followed by the ab- breviation "Ag." In certain genera, notably Azalea and Rhododen- dron, the names used at the Arnold Arboretum, where they differ from our usage, are similarly indicated by the Abbreviation ''Ar.'^

Disuse of Capital Initials* In regard to two matters of typog- raphy and spelling, the Committee has broken with the prevail- ing practice among botanists, by a large majority vote but not without a vigorous and well-presented opposition by a minority. One of these decisions was to use no capitals in scientific names except for invariably beginning a genus name with a capital. This is a practice which some botanists and some horticulturists have long followed and which is universally followed by Ameri- can zoologists. The rule as to capitalizing species names as fol- lowed, for example, in Bailey's Cj'clopedia and by many botanical authorities seems unnecessarily complicated in its application. The simple rule adopted by the American Joint Committee standard- izes horticultural name typography and is unmistakable in mean- ing and use.

Double "ii^^ Ending of Species Nanfies Changed to Single "i."*

*It should be noted in regard to such matters as the capitalizing or the decapitalizing of species names, the retention or omission of the second "i" in second declension genitives (as Thunbergii for thunhergi), and the insertion or omission of hyphens in compound names (as Horse- chestnut, Horsechestnut) , that no serious confusion of meaning is likely to be caused by diversity of usage or lack of standardization in these matters. While the Joint Committee be- lieves the standards adopted in this publication in these matters are convenient, economical, and desirable as trade usages, the one essential purpose of the publication, namely, the stayidardization of the names themselves, will not be affected if some users of the publication choose to adhere to other standards in regard to these less essential details of typography.

On the other hand, in the case of compound names in which a name properly belonging to one genus is applied in compound to a different genus, like Horsechestnut or Mat- apple, failure to write or print them as compound words, either with a hyphen or "solid," is in many cases likely to cause serious confusion and should be consistently avoided. The committee prefers and prints Mayapple. It makes no serious objection to May-apple. It objects very positively to May Apple, which is apt to mean, for any one not familiar with the plant, that it is a species or variety of the genus ]\Ialus.

PREFACE ix

The other of these decisions was to end all species names having the form of a second declension genitive with a single ''i" instead of with ''ii." This practice also has been followed for some time by zoologists and by some horticulturists. There is just as good classic Latin authority for the ''i" form as there is for the '4i" form, and it seems absurd to burden ourselves with trying to follow with precision the choice of each particular original author of a Latin plant name as to whether he would spell his genitive in ^'ii" or in the equally proper "i."

One Standard Common Name for Each Plant. The confusion in common names has been, of course, even worse than in scien- tific names. A single plant is sometimes known by twenty or more different names, some very closely localized, some very widespread. For example. Van Wijk's Dictionary of Plant Names credits the European White Waterlily, Nymphaea alba, with 15 English, 44 French, 105 German, and 81 Dutch common names, or a total of 245 vernacular appellations — a ridiculous state of affairs. Many other examples similarly absurd could be cited. More confusing still, the same common name is often applied in different parts of the country to wholly different plants. Some of these contradictory and confusing names are so firmly en- trenched in local popular usage that it may be quite impossible to eradicate them. The Committee, in proposing one of a plant's common names as a national standard common name for that plant, does not imply that some of the other common names in use for it are not just as good, or even in some respects better. But if we are ever going to reduce the confusion some one name must be selected more or less arbitrarily.

Common Name Suggestions Desired. It will be noticed that in this work many plants are listed only by their Latin names. In such cases the Committee will welcome the suggestion of suitable common names for insertion in future editions.

Committee^ s Procedure in Adopting Common Names. In general, the procedure of the Committee in regard to common names has been as follows: First, the collation of all the common names given for the plant in various publications. Among those most resorted to were Bailey's Cyclopedia, over 200 leading nursery catalogues, the leading American and English botanical and horti- cultural works and publications, the Century Dictionary, Sud- worth's Trees of the United States, and Van Wijk's Dictionary of Plant Names, a monumental work on the common names of

X STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES

plants in five languages, with frequent reference for comparison to many other works and sources.

Eliminating Syjionyms. Second, we have undertaken the elimi- nation of a name for any genus, species, or variety, of names clearly belonging more properly, according to accepted usage, to some other genus, species, or variety. The recklessness with which people, on moving into a new locality, have applied familiar old plant names to totally different plants of the new locality has been responsible for a great deal of existing confusion. For exam- ple, first settlers in a new country are likely to fix the name ''Laurel" to almost anything that has handsome evergreen leaves, and any evergreen conifer is likely to be called ''Cedar" or "Pine." Some of these misnomers have become so firmly and so widely established in popular usage, even where the plant is now grow- ing along with the plants which have the first right to the name, that they cannot be changed. But in such cases the Committee has adopted this rule : Whenever a common name prop- erly belonging to one germs is used as a name for a plant of some other genus {unless rarely where very closely related) it is to he used only as part of a compound name, written either with a hyphen or solid. Thus Apple (Malus), Pineapple (Ananas), Pond-apple (Annona), and Star-apple (Chrysophyllum) ; not Pine Apple, Pond Apple, or Star Apple.

Confusion of Common Name Synonyms Illustrated. In this book the Committee has to deal with no less than thirty-one genera in which the common name "Lily," usually with a qualifying adjective, has been heretofore applied — genera other than the true Lily genus, Lilium. In these cases the name "Lily" has obviously been used on account of the resemblance of the subjects to the true Lily. Many of these Lily combinations are too well fiixed in common usage to change. To overcome this difficulty the Committee has therefore applied its rule of consolidating these com- pounds where a different suitable common name could not be supplied. Examples: Amazonlily (Eucharis), not Amazon Lily; Day lily (Hemerocallis),no^ Day Lily; Glorylily (Gloriosa); Rainlily (Cooperia) ; Plantainlily (Hosta) ; Troutlily (Erythronium) ; Water- lily (Nymphaea) ; Zephyrlily (Zephyranthes) . No other satisfac- tory solution of this major difficulty was discovered, and this procedure is beheved to be sound.

Horticidtural Variety Synonyms in Chaos. In plant groups with a large and rapidly increasing number of purely horticultural

PREFACE xi

varieties the chaos of name duplication is especially prevalent. Lack of authoritative registration mechanism and other coopera- tive action among horticulturists, and the disappearance of thousands of horticultural varieties as they were superseded, has fostered the duplication of names.

This situation is well known to all horticulturists, and no group of plants is free from this name confusion ; it is only too well illus- trated in cultivated fruits, Rose, Peony, Iris, Gladiolus, Carnation, and other plant groups, including vegetables, grains, and annual flowering plants. For example, consider potato varieties. In Great Britain, out of 242 varieties of potatoes tested at Ormskirk in 1920 by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany, the Potato Synonym Committee found that 72 per cent were synonyms. Conditions cannot be said to be much better in America.*

Cornmon Names for Horticultural Hybrids. For many reasons the Committee prefers the practice of calling horticultural hybrids and other horticultural varieties by distinctive non-Latinized names — like the American Beauty Rose or the Baldwin Apple — - in preference to the use of Latinized names (in imitation of those applied by botanists to natural species and subspecies) which attempt to set forth the genealogy of the variety, such as Prunus cerasus rhexi Cy, Rhex Cherry; Chamaecyparis pisifera plumosa argentea Cy, Silvertip Retinospora; Nephrolepis exaltata hostonien- sis elegantissima cornpada cristata, Cockatoo Boston Fern.

These pseudo-scientific Latinized names of horticultural varie- ties tend to become cumbersome, and there has been the ut- most inconsistency and lack of science in devising them. A hybrid is sometimes given the name of one of its parents with a varietal addition which makes its name a trinomial or a polynomial of the nth degree; sometimes it is given a brand-new binomial that looks like the name of a newly discovered natural species.

Use of Hyphen in Compound Names.\ Some difficulty has been experienced in establishing a standard practice in the use or omis- sion of hyphens in compound words. The trend of usage in Eng- lish is undoubtedly toward the closer consolidation of the parts of a compound as the combination becomes familiar.

*As an example of the confusion in the names of vegetables the following quotation is made from an authoritative British publication: "In the case of vegetables it is probable that the 'orgy of synonyms' is more marked than in any other group of plants. Of the thousands of names of peas at present on the market there are probably less than 100 varieties, and these in turn include probably less than 20 types. Cabbages, turnips, and beans also suffer from a multitude of unnecessary names."

tSee footnote on page viii referring to the use of hyphens.

STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES

Therefore, for simplicity and convenience, hyphens are avoided where they are not clearlv desirable; but a hyphen must be used where the'meaning is made clearer, or where the pronunciation ot the compound would be seriously difficult to recognize when printed as a single word.

Examples: Vi-apple, not Viapple, for Spondias cytherea; but Pineapple, not Pine-apple nor Pine Apple, for Ananas sativus, because this compound has become sufficiently familiar. Bellflower, not Bell Flower 7ior Bell-flower; Pelicanflower, not Pelican Flower; Longleaf, not Long-leaf nor Long Leaf; Longspur, not Long-spur.

Sign of the Possessive (') Omitted. In possessive adjectival names the possessive sign has been dropped, and the accompanying let- ter ''s" except where required for euphony or clearness. Examples: Schwedler Maple, not Schwedler's Maple; Wier Maple, not Wier's Maple; Josephs-coat (a horticultural variety of Amaranthus), not Joseph's-coat; Rivers Beech, 7iot Rivers' Beech; Browns Lily, not Brown's Lilv or Brown Lily, etc. This rule has already been adopted by the American Pomological Society, and we believe is sound practice.

Standardization of No7nenclature Unfinished. The following three large plant groups have yet to be considered and standard names adopted; viz., 1. Vegetables, such as Cabbage, Potato, Celery, Radish, Bean, Pea, etc. 2. Flowering Annuals, such as Petunia, Zinnia, Nasturtium, Cosmos, etc. 3. Bulbous Plants, such as Narcissus, Jonquil, Hyacinth, Crocus, Ranunculus, Scilla, etc. (The genus Tulipa has been adequately considered.)

The first two groups, Vegetables and Flowering Annuals, are now being considered by a committee of the American Seed Trade Association, and it is expected that the result will be available for future editions of Standardized Plant Names. The "name-chaos" existing is easily seen by an even casual comparison of current seed catalogues. ' In Bulbous Plants, the Tulip group discloses an- other form of "name-chaos" in the use of identical names for varie- ties in different groups of the same genus.

Continuance of Joint Committee, and Revision. Obviously while the work of standardizing plant names is well begun it must be continuous. Files must be kept that will list all new names and show all name changes that experience and use make advisable, and it is certain that revision will be desirable in five-year or possi- bly longer periods.

The Joint Committee welcomes constructive criticism and

PREFACE xiii

suggestions both as to the subject matter of this work and as to ways, means, and mechanism for estabhshing authoritative plant-name identification and registration.

Horticultural Variety Na7nes Should be Registered. It is the hope of the Committee that ultimately all horticultural hybrids and other horticultural varieties may be known by individual non-Latinized names, registered in connection with type specimens, illustrations, and descriptions of each variety, and, so far as possible, free from duplication of varietal names within the same genus, or even within closely related genera. This seems a remote ideal to- day, but its influence on the present publication is shown in many genera where horticultural varieties known both by Latinized polynomials and by vernacular names have been listed in suitable groups under the latter, with the Latinized names given only as synonyms.

Mechanism Needed for Name Registration and Identification. The American Joint Committee urges as a first step that there be established in suitable locations in the different geographical regions and climatic zones of the United States, Government botanical gardens, arboreta, and test-gardens, with herbaria attached, where all varieties of horticultural and agricultural plant material may, so far as possible, be grown and accurately labeled in the field, and be accompanied by corresponding herbarium specimens of flower, fruit, and plant, and with accurate descriptions and photo- graphs.

Nomenclature Code. The adoption by the American Joint Com- mittee of a Code for use in the future naming of new horticultural varieties according to standardized rules and procedure, obviously is of the greatest importance in relation to simphfied and definite horticultural terminology. Such a Code should be based on the principles adopted and practiced by the American Joint Commit- tee in preparing Standardized Plant Names. The American Joint Committee may prepare and issue such a Nomenclature Code.

Names as Published in Standardized Plant Names are Declared Standard for Not Less Than a Five-Year Period. The American Joint Committee hereby adopts as standard, by authority of its constituent organizations, the scientific and common names as pubhshed in this 1923 edition of Standardized Plant Names for a period of not less than five years.

Reprints may be made as necessary, but the only permissible

xiv STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES

changes are typographic or other errors, and the addition of new approved names or Hsts of names.

Every horticultural organization in America is invited and urged to endorse and adopt Standardized Plant Names to the com- mon end that all plant names in horticultural use in America may become standardized.

Acknowledgment to Collaborators. The American Joint Com- mittee wishes to acknowledge with gratitude the invaluable assistance rendered by many organizations and individuals in the preparation of Standardized Plant Names, and particularly in cer- tain genera and groups, as follows :

xvi STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES

HOW TO USE STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES

This Catalogue includes both the scientific and the common names, ap- proved and synonymous, of plants in American commerce, very fully cross- indexed and arranged in one continuous main alphabetic sequence.

Throughout, the approved scientific names are in bold-face, whether in CAPITALS or in small letters. Synonyms and unapproved jiames are invari- ably in italic, either stnall letters or CAPITALS. Approved common names are always in Small Capitals.

These typographic distinctions make the use of the catalogue easy. The cross-indexing will facilitate finding approved names, directly or through synonyms.

The words constituting the main alphabetic sequence are at the left-hand margin of the columns. They are mainly the genus names, common and scientific, such as ABIES and Fir, cross-referenced to each other.

Following a scientific genus name is the alphabetic list of species of that genus, each accompanied by its common name, and by an italicized synonym when a synonym is in well-established and authoritative use, as, under ABIES, "A. pectinata {A. picea Cy; A. alba Ag-Ar) . . . Silver Fir." Cross refer- ences are given from such synonyms in their proper alphabetic order.

Following a scientific species name and further indented to the right are hsted alphabetically the names of natural varieties of that species recognized by botanists and found in American commerce, as, "A. homolepis umbilicata (umhellata) . . . Dimplecone Fir." The horticultural varieties of a genus are placed together in a special list, following the list of species of that genus, and arranged in the alphabetic order of their common names. There is usually a reference to this special horticultural variety hst under each species of which there are varieties to be found in the Ust. Thus, under A. pectinata is the note "See also hort. var. list on page 2," and under the heading "Hort. var. of Abies" is found "Sentinel Silver Fir {A. pectinata pyramidalis^ Cy)." In very short species lists, such as Allamanda, and in genera in which most of the species have horticultural varieties, such as Azalea and Rosa, the refer- ences to the horticultural variety list are omitted.

A plant having a recognized Latin name and a recognized common name is entered under each of its names; for example Sugar Maple, Acer saccharum, IS entered under A, M, and S: In the case, however, of the very large number of horticultural varieties that have no recognized Latin name, no entry is made under the adjective; for example. Firefly Azalea is entered under A but not under F.

^^'ojlowing the common name of a genus in the main alphabetical list is an alphabetical hst of common names of species and varieties of that genus (except when the great length of such a hst, as in case of Rose makes it reasonable to refer to the full list under the scientific name of the genus) and also of com- pounds of that genus name applied to plants belonging to other genera; as under the heading Apple (Malus), is found Custard-apple, although, of course, Custard-apple also appears in the main alphabetical list under C.

It has never passed among nurserymen, how- ever, as an Amygdalus. Its horticul- tural variety, the Doubleflowering Plum, is in the trade under the proper species name, Prunus triloba. The common Flowering Almonds are horti- cultural varieties of P. glandulosa.

Hort. var. of Dahlia:

Because of the large number of horti- cultural varieties of Dahlia the hort. var. list and the common-name list have been combined in the special list below.

Dahlia Dahlia

Statement Prepared by J. B. S. Norton

This list was prepared by Prof. J. B. S. Norton, University of Maryland, and Dr. W. E. Safford, on behalf of the American DahHa Society, from thirty- seven leading 1920 American catalogues and eighty 1921 catalogues. It does not pretend to be complete and doubtless contains errors, b.ut it is published in the hope that it will serve as a basis for critical examination and correction.

It includes all varieties found in four or more catalogues, with a few of the more promising new ones not yet widely introduced.

The American Dahlia Society has not yet settled upon a system of nomen- clature, and the names used herein are recommended rather than adopted. The principles used in the selection of names for changes proposed are as follows:

1. The oldest name known for a variety is to be used unless a later one is so weil established that much confusion would result from a change.

2. Where two varieties have the same name, the older should stand and the new one be renamed; but names of im- portant varieties now grown are not to be discarded because of their having been applied to varieties no longer cultivated.

3. Long or difficult names are shortened or changed to more convenient forms. In general, initials are omitted and names reduced to not more than two words.

4. In the publications of the American Dahlia Society, names registered with the Society shall have standing over un- registered names.

STANDARDIZED PLANT NAMES

Cultural Types of Dahlia

Statement Prepared by

Dr. W. E. Safford

Single Dahlias are those which have but one circle of ray-flowers surround- ing the disk. In the primitive type there are only eight rays; but this number has been increased and the rays may be long or short, slender and pointed or broad and rounded, acuminate or notched, or with such wide spaces between the tips of the rays as to suggest a star, recurved or incurved. Single Cactus Dahhas usually have the rays incurved, with the margins folded backward.

Duplex Dahlias are those which have a double row of rays surrounding the disk. The name is apphed to various forms in which the rays may be either flat and broad or narrow and folded either in- ward or outward.

Show Dahlias are those which have a globose or hemispherical head of quilled florets.

Pompon Dahlias may be regarded as a small form of the Show type; they are especially desirable for cut flowers, and are sometimes called Bouquet Dahlias.

Decorative Dahlias are those possess- ing broad, flat, and nearly straight florets, arranged somewhat irregularly; the flower heads are not spherical in shape like those of the Show Dahhas, but are inchnedto be flat or massive and are always full to the center.

Dwarf Dahhas include various kinds of low Dahlias suitable for bedding purposes.

Anemone-flowered Dahlias have a single circle of ray flowers and the disk flowers are developed into elongated tubes.

Cactus Dahlias diff'er from other types chiefly in having the margins of their florets folded or even quilled backward. Their ancestry may be traced back to Dahlia juarezi.

HybridCactusDahlias are intermediate between Cactus Dahlias and Decorative or Show Dahlias. Some of their florets are usually folded backward. Dahlia juarezi, the ancestor of all the Cactus Dahhas, would now be classed with the Cactus Hybrids.

Peony-flowered Dahlias are so named from their resemblance to semi-double peonies. Many are hybrids between Cactus Dahlias and other forms. Some are artistically irregular with long stems.

Collarette Dahlias have a single series of ray flowers, with the stamens de- veloped into petal-like processes which appear to form a frill or collar around the disk, usually of a different color from that of the rays.
