SMALL FLOWERING DAHLIAS 
The free blooming small dahlias (pompons and miniaiures), 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 ex- 
posed 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.
