Dreer's Dainty Double Pompon Dahlias 



These dainty little gems are admired by everybody and are de- 

 servedly rapidly growing in popular favor. They bloom most pro- 

 fusely from early in the season until frost, furnishing at all times an 

 abundance of perfect flowers on good stems suitable for cutting, for 

 which purpose they are exceptionally well adapted, lending themselves 

 admirably to house and particularly to table decoration, where larger

 cut blooms are from two to three times that of the larger flowered types.
