POMPON DAHLIAS 
The smallest of the dahlias, ranging in size 
from tiny blooms not much more than an inch 
across, to larger flowers of 2 and 3 inches. For 
exhibition purposes, Poms must be under 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, and 
good keepers. They are also fine border plants 
and used extensively for bedding; for the bushes 
provide a mass of color all through the fall 
season. 
Shipping season from March 1 to June 1.
