The Colossal Three. 
WATCHMAN. Red, striped yellow. 20 cents 
each. 
Pompon Dahlias 
The Pompon Dahlias are the finest for cut 
flowers ; they bloom more freely than any of the 
other classes. The flowers are small, compact, 
and full to the center, and are produced upon 
long, wiry stems. Extra fine for bouquets. I 
have the largest and finest collection of any firm 
in America and have won more first prizes on 
this class of Dahlias than any other competitor 
in the U. S. A.
