Pompon Dahlia 
Pompon Dahlias 
Pompon Dahlias have been favorites with many flower lovers and Dahlia 
fanciers in the past and they still hold their own. And, true enough, these 
smallest of all Dahlias combine so many pleasant features that they justly 
deserve a place in every garden. They grow so freely and require so little 
care after planting, and still, they bring forth a wealth of bloom, reward¬ 
ing the owner with an endless supply of gorgeous cut flowers all during the 
late summer and fall. 
A. D. Livoni Each 25c 
A favorite old-time, quilled bright shell-pink Ball Dahlia, very free flow¬ 
ering, ideal for cutting.

They are borne on wiry stems and well displayed above the dark green 
foliage.

dantly. Combines well with all other colors. 
Miniature Dahlias 
These Miniature Dahlias are of various forms and types, being merely 
"vest-pocket" editions of the large-flowered decorative, cactus and other 
types. They are unexcelled for planting in the border because of their 
dwarf growth and free-blooming qualities. They require but little disbud¬ 
ding, if any. Their value as cut flowers assures them a place in every garden.

Bluish lavender ball-shaped blooms of formal decorative type. The flow¬ 
ers, 3'/ 2 inches across, are borne freely on plants 31/2 feet tall.

bloomer, and very satisfactory. You can cut bouquets from one bush two 
or three times a week. 
Jerry. (M. F. D.) Each 40c

effective in landscape or arrangements with the autumn shades but not 
very good with pinks.

dant flowering Dahlias grown, excellent continuous and abundant bloomer. 
Very desirable little Pompon.

tion of the two colors.

pink. They ore borne profusely on compact plants 3 feet high.

ture flowers on good stems.

Aster. The low compact bushes make it very desirable in landscape or 
rock garden planting.

NEW DWARF DAHLIAS 
For Pot Culture and Landscape Planting 
The wonderful new race of Dahlias primarily introduced for greenhouse 
blooming in pots, not only serve well in this respect, but are also unusually 
useful for planting in borders in the garden. 
In the greenhouse or conservatory they can be forced into bloom for 
Easter and the months following. When they have served for this purpose 
they may be transplanted to the garden and will there continue to bloom 
until frost, after which, following a short rest, they may again be potted 
for indoor blooming. 
The habit of the plant is compact and dwarf, producing flowers when 
they are a little over a foot in height after forming only a very few leaves. 
Christine 
Pure white, dainty flowers of small size are very freely produced.

Deep golden yellow at center passing to rich orange-carmine towards the 
tips of the petals. Flower of good size and excellent form. Free and vig¬ 
orous. Semi-Cactus.
