FLOWERLAND DAHLIAS 
Miniature and Pompon 
EUREKA, THE WONDERFUL NEW WHITE DECORATIVE DAHLIA. See page 62. 
Flowerland Miniature Dahlias 
Not pompons, but midway in size between that fascinating little type 
and the small decorative dahlias, this new class has a grace and charm all 
its own. 
They are just the right size for all floral decorations for use in any 
room—remarkable keepers and profuse 1 bloomers. 
This new class of Dahlias is fast becoming the most favored of all— 
they are so beautiful in all types of floral decorations, not too large for use 
in any room and have most remarkable keeping qualities and profusion of 
bloom. Possessing all of the splendor of the large type they have a charm 
of form all their own and their smaller size makes them more useful in 
many ways. Because of their desirable size, excellent stems, and the long 
time they last when cut, these Miniature Dahlias are much in demand by 
florists. 
We are each season adding to our list, many beautiful new Dahlias of this class, 
which we consider the most generally useful of all the Dahlias. 
The growing demand for these miniature Dahlias, including both those of decora¬ 
tive-miniature (the more informally shaped ones) and the more ball shaped is an accur¬ 
ate criterion of their rapidly increasing recognition and popularity.

Pompon Dahlias 
Free flowering, they produce copious

ers of perfectly formed flowers throughout 
the season. 
Our selection of the best of the varieties 
is most discriminating.
