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 hundreds 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 outstanding. 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 2Vs to 3Vs inches in diameter;, 
pompons are tiny ball type dahlias, about 1 Vi inches in diameter: and single dahlias are those with 
cosmos type blooms.
