POMPON DAHLIAS 
The smallest of the Dahlias, ranging 
in size from tiny blooms an inch across, 
to larger flowers of 2 to 3°inches. For 
exhibition purposes, Poms must be un- 
der 2 inches. However, many of our 
nicest Poms are larger than that. These 
are called the cut-flower type, and for 
your convenience, we list them under 
separate headings. 
Regardless of size, all Poms are good 
cut flowers. The blooms are formal 
and perfect, good keepers, on graceful 
stems. They are also fine border plants 
and used extensively for bedding; for 
the bushes provide a mass of color all 
through the fall season.
