POMPON DAHLIAS 
POMPON OR BOUQUET 
DAHLIAS 
From year to year we have added new varieties to our 
list of Pompons until there is considerable duplication 
which only results in confusion when a selection of Poms 
is to be made. 
After a survey of the Dahlia Shows and trials this fall 
we have decided to confine our list to the best dozen 
Pompons available today. Recent introductions have the 
following to recommend them over their predecessors. 
A longer, wiry stem, sometimes reaching 24 inches. 
All the newer varieties are characterized by a reduction 
in the size of flower and a perfection of form and place- 
ment of petals. Lastly, the colors are truer and more dis¬ 
tinct. For example, we do not hesitate to recommend 
Betty Anne as an ideal pink Pompon embracing all of 
the foregoing desirable traits without any faults we can 
discover. 
We suggest a careful consideration of the following list 
with the descriptions and advise your replacing some of 
the old ones with these new perfected types.

DWARF DAHLIA PLANTS 
Strong young plants only, ready at planting time 
in May. 
This wonderful new race of dahlias has remarkable 
value for garden planting though they are not less desir¬ 
able for cutting. The plants grow into dwarf compact 
bushes which seldom measure more than 2 feet in height. 
They begin blooming when they are a little more than a 
foot tall and flower continuously from early summer until 
frost. Splendid for beds, borders, and mixed plantings. 
Christine. Dainty pure white flowers of small size. 
Easter Greeting. White flowers somewhat larger than 
Christine, but not as early. 
Elsie. Deep golden yellow at center, passing to rich orange- 
carmine toward tips of petals. Flowers good size and 
excellent semi-cactus form. 
Gertrude. Clean sulphur-yellow, very compact. 
Kate. Showy bright scarlet flowers of formal contour. 
Ursula. Intense crimson informal decorative with carmine 
reverse. Flowers comparatively large. 
Three-inch pots, doz., $5.50; 100, $42.50.
