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 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 hun¬ 
dreds of flowers. 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 out¬ 
standing. 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/ z to }/ 2 inches in 
diameter; pompons are tiny ball type dahlias, about 1% inches in diameter; and single 
dahlias are those with cosmos type blooms.
