W. W. WILMORE, DAHLIA SPECIALIST 
Novelties of Special Merit 
VARIOUS TYPES 
CORONA. 1910. (The Carnation Dahlia.) 
A miniature decorative form, fully dou- 
ble and of purest white. Its wonderful 
freedom of bloom, pure color and chaste 
foi-m places it at once at the head of the 
list as a florist's flower. At a little dis- 
tance it would be pronounced a carna- 
tion, which it resembles both in size and 
form. This graceful decorative type will 
undoubtedly supersede the rounded for- 
mal white Pompons. Last spring I sent 
some stock of this variety to an eastern 
specialist — Nathan A. Miller — for trial, 
and he makes this report; "The White 
Pompon. Corona, sent for trial -was supe- 
rior to anything in its class for de.sign 
work, and later in the season attracted 
much attention as a buttonhole flower."
