SMALL FLOWERING DAHLIAS 
Any three 35c or 40c Dahlias for $1.00 
The free blooming small dahlias (pompons, singles, and miniatures) all of which 
keep so well when cut, are among the most satisfactory all-around plants that may be 
had in any garden. They perform the double service of. providing color in the garden 
and blooms for the house—for a single bush will bloom for months, actually producing 
hundreds of blooms. Tubers of small flowering dahlias should be planted as soon as 
received, as they are usually small and the eyes are apt to dry out if left exposed to the 
air for any length of time. 
In particular we wish to point out that our list of miniatures is now most utstand- 
ing. The varieties in our list are the “cream”, actually chosen from more than one 
hundred miniatures that we have purchased and grown. 
Miniatures are similar in form to the large 'dahlias, but are 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 inches 
in diameter; pompons are tiny ball type dahlias, about 1 1/4 inches in diameter; and 
single dahlias are those with cosmos type blooms.
