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. 
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 placement of petals. Lastly, 
the colors are truer and more distinct.
