Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This classic dinner-plate dahlia isn't just big - 8 to 10 inches across when well grown - it's ruggedly handsome, with an ivory center opening into masses of rippling white petals. You might think of it as the muscular, New Jersey-born, football-playing cousin of 'Prinzessin Irene von Preussen'. Dinner-plates, the most iconic of dahlias, were hugely popular from the 1920s through the 1950s.
