East Bridgewater Dahlia Cardens /. K. Alexander , East Bridgewater , Massachusetts 
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 produced upon long, wiry stems. 
Extra fine for bouquets. I have the largest and finest collection of any firm in America, and won 
more first prizes on this class of Dahlias than any other competitor in the U. S. A.
