MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
Flowers 31 inches in diameter or less 
These are increasing in popularity and interest. After careful tests, we are including many 
new and meritorious varieties, giving a complete range of distinct colors and forms. All 
types of Dahlias are to be found in this section, but the plants are dwarf and the flowers are 
perfect gems, ideal for cut-flower purposes. They are also invaluable for borders, hedges or 
planting in the perennial garden. Since their height is between 11% and 3 feet, they need no 
supporting stakes and may be used for bedding. Pinch them to keep the plants uniform.
