Dreer's Dainty Double Pompon Dahlias 



These dainty little gems are admired by everybody, and are deservedly 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 Dahlias would be out of place; furthermore, the lasting qualities of the cut blooms is from two to three times that of the larger 

 flowered types. We offer a choice assortment of fourteen distinct varieties, twelve of which are illustrated in colors on the plate opposite.
