MINIATURE FORMAL 
DECORATIVE DAHLIAS—Cont. 
LITTLE JEWEL (85S), Bloom 2x1, Bush 3 ft. 
This is one of the original, full centered pink Minia¬ 
tures. It blooms freely in light soil. We recom¬ 
mend using ashes when grown in heavy soil. .35 
LITTLE NEMO (Chase 86S), Bloom 4x2, Bush 4 ft. 
A striking crimson uniformly tipped white which is 
uncommon in bi-colors. Very pleasing and regular 
form but sometimes grows too large for the Minia¬ 
ture class. However, it is very popular wherever 
grown, as the blooms are very beautiful.

MIRTH (Nuneviller-Dahliadel 85S), 1935. Bloom 3 x 
2, Bush 4 [/2 ft. A lively orange scarlet of an even 
color that does not fade. A shade that appeals to 
the ladies. Normally, this flower grows small enough

and erect. This variety should become popular on 
the show table as it is always uniform in sizp, form 
and color. Certified at Storrs, 1935.
