Pompon Dahlias always have 

 been favorites with many garden- 

 ers though the development of 

 thegiant varieties has diverted the 

 attention formerly paid to them 

 to some extent. Yet they are as 

 popular today as they ever were 

 because they lend themselves 

 exceptionally well to garden dis- 

 play on account of their compact 

 growth and limited height. Their 

 well-rounded, shapely blooms al- 

 ways are in great demand for 

 cut flowers, which in some ways 

 are more suited to decoration of 

 the average room than the ex- 

 tremely large giant varieties. 

 The varieties we list are free 

 flowering and vigorous.

 display in beds or borders. The

 ious trusses of refined rosy sal- 

 mon flowers. 4 ft.

Cannas bloom from early summer until frost in all sections 

 of the country. They succeed in any sunny position and 

 in any kind of soil, though they respond quickly to liberal 

 treatment. For best results prepare the beds about 2 feet 

 deep and include a quantity of well decayed manure. They 

 require ample moisture throughout the growing season. 

 All varieties have green foUage unless otherwise specified 

 in the descriptions below.
