Pompon Dahlia, Bobby 
Pompon Dahlias 
Pompon Dahlias have always been 
favorites with flower lovers and 
Dahlia fanciers. These smallest of 
all Dahlias combine so many pleas¬ 
ant features that they justly deserve 
a place in every garden. They 
grow freely and require little care 
after planting, and bring forth a 
wealth of blooms, rewarding the 
grower with a generous supply of 
gorgeous cut flowers during the 
late summer and fall. Plants are of 
stocky growth, quite branching and 
extremely free flowering. Nice for 
borders; invaluable for table dec¬ 
oration, as they keep in good con¬ 
dition for a long while after cutting. 
8095 Bobby Attractive, little 
ball-shaped flowers of rich, deep 
plum, borne most freely on extra 
long stems. 250 each; 3 for 650.

Miniature Dahlias 
These Miniature Dahlias are of various forms and types, being, as it were, “vest pocket" editions of the 
large-flowered Decorative, Cactus and other types. They are unexcelled for planting in the border because
