Pompon Dahlias 
The Graceful Little Formal Type 
There is a constant growing demand for this elegant class of small-flowered Dahlias. They are in reality miniature 
forms of the large-flowered show type. Although absolutely formal in shape, there is a grace and beauty about them 
which makes them splendid subjects for decorative effects of all kinds, being equally valuable for a show in the garden 
or as cut flowers. The stems are strong and wiry and the colors charmingly bright and fresh. They have the additional 
advantage of outlasting.

effective. Moderate-sized flowers of splendid form.
