SPECIAL DAHLIA CATALOGUE 25 
TWO NEW 
POMPON 
or 
Liliputian 
DAHLIAS 
The advance in this miniature type of Dahlias has not 
kept pace with the other classes, and it is only occasionally 
that we have a novelty to offer; but in the varieties Nerissa 
and Gretchen Heine we have two perfect gems, which should 
be included in every collection. The plants are of ideal 
habit and are always loaded with-flowers, not over two inches 
in diameter, and of the most perfect form. 
Nerissa. A beautiful shade of lively mauve-pink that appeals to every- 
one and which shows up particularly pleasing under artificial light. 
Gretchen Heine. A good companion to Nerissa; ground color a rose- 
tinted white; each petal heavily tipped crimson-carmine. 
Price. Either of the above plants, ready April 15th, 30 cts. each; the 
pair fer 50 cts.; $3.00 per doz.
