Pompon Dahlias 



Dreer's Dainty Double 

 Pompon Dahlias 



These dainty little gems are admired by everybody and are de- 

 servedly growing in popular favor. They bloom most profusely 

 from early in the season until frost, furnishing at all times an 

 abundance of perfect flowers on good stems suitable for cutting, for 

 which purpose they are exceptionally well adapted, lending them- 

 selves admirably to house and particularly to table decoration, 

 where larger Dahlias would be out of place. Furthermore, the last- 

 ing qualities of the cut blooms are from two to three times that of 

 the larger flowered types. They do best in soils not too rich. 

 Anna von Schwerin. Delicate light rose. 

 Arthur. A splendid bright red. 

 Daisy. Early, free flowering salmon-rose. 

 Gretchen Heine. A rose-tinted white, tipped carmine.
