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 

 up so fine under artificial light. 25 cts. each; $2.50 

 per dozen.
