20 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 haye 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 
up so fine under artificial light. 25 cts. each; $2.50 
per dozen.
