: NHiniature Dahlias 
These Miniature Dahlias are of various forms and types, being merely “vest-pocket” editions of 
the large flowered Decorative, Cactus and other types. Unexcelled for planting in the border be- 
cause of their dwarf growth and free-blooming qualities. They require little disbudding, if any. 
Their value as cut flowers assures them a place in every garden.

This is an unusual and very attractive flower, petals being bright scar- 
let with a deep garnet center. Foliage is lacy, of a reddish bronze color.

as a cut flower.

colors.

colors. Very pleasing and regular in form but sometimes grows too

wherever grown.

red that is a grand grower and a prolific bloomer. Trophy in Brussels
