NEW Giant Tree Dahlias - the tallest dahlias ever!
These stunning new winter hardy Giant Tree Dahlias cannot fail to make
a dramatic impact in your garden! The large flowers appear year after
year with blooms which keep getting bigger and better. Growing up to
160 cm tall (over 5 ft) these are the tallest dahlias ever.
Available in 3 fantastic varieties (see below) - choose from bright
red Acapluco, sunshine yellow Bridgeview Aloha or soft lilac Sugar
Diamond. Or buy our collection of all three for a glorious and
colourful display.
This is from an on line catalogue I received today.from Van Meuwen
Tree dahlias grow anythimg up to 20 ft tall and these dahlias don't
even grow to the advertised height.
Also Acapluco has been around for almost 10 years, and they are no
more "Hardy" than any other dahlias

I have some rules of thumb about gardening catalogues: when they say
"blue", they're probably lying, and when they add an exclamation mark
to anything, they're certainly lying. "New" is a falsehood, too: you
get genuinely new varieties from specialists, not from mass-marketers,
and most it means "this hasn't been in our catalogue before".
The agencies also have a selection of petite models to make goods look
big in photographs.

The same models they use for selling small boats with inadequate headroom?

^^^^^
"...and AT THE most...", of course.

Yep. An exception to the general rule that one must be tall to be a
model.
