BOLSA DAHLIA GARDEN, M I L L V A L L E Y , C A LI F O R N I A 
1 HIS 1 935 issue of our Catalog contains a list of the Pompons, Miniatures 
and English Singles we have grown this past season and recommend. Each 
year our list is revised for Dahlias li\e merchandise have their fashions and to 
\eep abreast with the times we have to grow many of the new introductions — 
so we have included in this list those we thin\ are outstanding and choice. 
There still continues to be an increasing interest in the small varieties and 
this is not surprising as there is so much to be said in their favor—they are 
dainty and graceful, extremely colorful, easy of cultivation, bloom very freely 
and \eep well for days when cut. 
Pompons are small balbshaped flowers and always greatly in demand. 
Miniatures are the same form as the large dahlias but miniature in size, and 
because of their special charm we predict they will be grown more and more 
extensively as they become better \nown. 
We again helped to ma\e history with a very beautiful exhibit at the 1934 
Show of the Dahlia Society of California in San Francisco, receiving first 
prize for the most artistic table. Our exhibits were all shown in white re' 
ceptacles of Italian pottery, two pictures of which appear in this catalog—we 
are sorry our catalog is not large enough to show them all. 
In the Pompon class we received first for the best receptacle of pompons with 
Bantam; first for the most artistic with an arrangement of purples and lavenders 
with Minnie Mells predominating; and first for the best collection consisting 
of Anna von Schwerin, Donny, Golden Sunshine, Bantam, Minnie Mells, 
Mary Munns, Ta\a's Purple, Honey and Helen Anita. 
In the Miniature class we received first on our collection consisting of 
Coronne, Elizabeth Pape, Golden California, Baby Royal, Sanhican s Sweet' 
heart and Little Jewel. First for the most artistic receptacle with Baby Royal 
and second for the best miniatures with Golden California. 
We also received the prize for the small types in white, in yellows and in the 
singles with Union Jac\. 
We encourage correspondence with our customers and will gladly help them 
in any way we can. We carefully grow and care for our stcc\ and feel sure 
there is none better.
