Delightful Dahlias for 1942 


Some say the Dahlia is for men— 
For it all hombres have a yen. 
They’ve worked on color and on size, 
o now they have a big surprise. 

Types of Dahlias 
The CACTUS has pointed petals, often the 
petals rolled or twisted. If petals too broad 
for Cactus, yet not broad enough for Decora- 
tive, then we call this the HYBRID CACTUS 
type. The DECORATIVE type has broad, flat 
petals and many of them. The SHOW type 
has quilled petals, making a ball-shaped or 
nearly ball-shaped blossom.

Darling Pompons 
CUTE LITTLE DAHLIAS x 
Pompons are the show or quilled type. Some 
blossoms are almost as round as a ball. The 
charm of these Pompon, Lilliput, Pewee or 
Midget Dahlias is due to their being small, 
prim and precise, instead of big, careless and 
informal. ; 
_Pompons measure only 2 inches or less in 
diameter. 
Work for size of bloom on your mammoth va- — 
rieties, but keep the Pompons small and “just 
as sweet as they are.” 
Pompons “bloom and bloom and bloom.’ 
They are the answer to the question, “Why 
don’t Dahlias last longer in bouquets?” Well, 
Pompons DO last longer. And such charming 
bouquets as they make! : ie 
CARDINAL. Fine bright cardinal red. 
DARKNESS. Rich dark red or maroon. — 
DEW DROP. Light pink, edged darker. 
GIRLIE. Lovely pinkish mauve color. | 
GOLDILOCKS. Gold, deepening at center. 
HONEY. Fine light yellow, tipped red. 
JESSICA. Yellow, tipped red. 
JOE FETTIE. Pure white. Excellent. 
LITTLE EDITH. Primrose, tipped carmine. 
ROSE WILMOTH. Rose pink. Fine form. 
YELLOW GEM. Best pure yellow Pom.
