HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA 



New Pompon Dahlia 

 "Nerissa" 



The advance in this miniature type of 



Dahlias has not kept pace with the 



other classes, and it is but rarely that 



we have a novelty to offer: but in the 



Nerissa we have such a perfect little 



gem that it should be included in every 



collection. The plant is of ideal habit, and is always 



loaded with flowers not over two inches In diameter, of 



perfect form, and of that beautiful shade of lively 



mauve-pink that appeals to everyone and that shows 



i i I » so fine under artificial light. 25 cts. each; $2.50 



per dozen.
