20 Dainty Pompon Dahlias 



The rapidly increasing popularity of the small ball-shaped or 

 Pompon Dahlias is justified by the diversity of their use and 

 their adaptability. 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. 



They are offered as tubers ready for delivery at any time, 

 excepting only the two novelties Anna Lee and Morning Mist 

 (see second column) which can be supplied only as growing plants 

 deliverable during May.

rich apricot shading.

Two Beautiful New Pompon Dahlias 



Anna Lee. We discovered this last year and consider it one of 

 the most desirable of the pink Pompons. The plant is healthy 

 and vigorous. The flowers are a luminous clear shade of carmine- 

 rose. 



Morning Mist. This impresses us as one of the daintiest of 

 this class of Dahlias. A flower of perfect form and a very 

 pale pink color. 



Green plants of these two new Pompons will be sup- 

 phed for May delivery at 50c each; $5.00 per dozen. 



Six Popular Dahlias 



These are leaders in the New York and Philadelphia cutflower 

 market which is proof that they are desirable varieties of 

 vigorous, free-blooming habit. They are reasonably priced. 

 Gallant Fox (Formal DecorativeV Of outstanding merit with 



6-inch flowers of an entrancing luminous dark red color which 



is described by some as claret. 

 Jane Cowl. There is not a Dahlia show where Jane Cowl does 



not stand out as one of the finest Informal Decoratives we 



have. The blooms combine a lovely shade of bronzy buff with 



old gold. Truly remarkable. 

 Jersey's Beauty. This grand old favorite is today as popular 



as ever. Of perfect Formal Decorative form and a beautiful 



bright pink color. Vigorous and free-blooming. 

 Myrtle Fisher. This slightly Informal Decorative yellow 



Dahlia is one of the most reliable for cutflower purposes. 



Fully double flowers about 6 inches in diameter. 

 Roycroft. A Semi-Cactus of perfect form producing a pro- 

 fusion of flowers that measure 6 to 7 inches across. Of a deep 



orange-terra-cotta suffused with rose.
