20 Dainty Pompon Dahlias 



kJ^?.^* 



The rapidly increasing popularity of the small ball-shaped or 

 Pompon Dahlias is justified by the diversity of their use and 

 their adaptabihty. In the garden they make small decorative 

 plants with an abundance of flowers which are splendid for home 

 decorations, particularly' for tables where their size and dainti- 

 ness makes them most appealing. The small ball-shaped flowers 

 seldom exceed two inches in diameter.
