All the items offered on this page, most of which are shown in full color on the page opposite or on the 
Front Cover, are of outstanding merit and deserving of a place in everyones garden. Each will add

Pompon Dahlia Tubers 
This delightful class of compact, miniature 
Dahlias is unexcelled because the plants produce 
so many splendid flowers for bouquets from 
August, right on until late fall frosts. 
The colors are so many and varied that you can, 
by planting these two collections in your garden, 
have flowers that harmonize with the color- 
scheme of every room of your home. 
Their beauty in the garden is striking. The 
tubers may be dug in late fall, stored in cellar, 
like potatoes and replanted each spring. They 
multiply so they increase in value each year.
