Two New Pompon 

 Dahlias 



Tlie advance in this miniature type ot 



Dahlias has not kept pace with the other 



classes, and it is only occasionally that we 



have a novelty to offer; but in the varieties 



Nerissa and Gretchen Heine we have two perfect gems, which 



should be included in every collection. The plants are of ideal 



haljit and are always loaded with flowers, not over two inches 



in diameter, and of the most perfect form. 



Nerissa. A beautiful shade of lively mauve-pink that appeals to 



everyone and which shows up particularly pleasing under artificial 



lij^ht. 



Qretchen Heine. A good companion to Nerissa; ground color 



a rose-tinted white; each petal heavily tipped crimson-carmine. 

 Price. Either of the above, plants ready April 15th, 30 cts. each; 

 the pair for 50 cts.; $3.00 per doz.
