A&M POMPON DAHLIAS 
These are the babies in the Dahlia world. 
Pretty, compact, ball shaped flowers are borne 
on long, stiff stems holding the blossoms up- 
right and making a most wonderful display of 
color in the garden. They are very fine for 
house decoration and flowers will hold up a 
long time in water without boiling or burning 
the stems. No garden in California should be 
without Pompons. They are so different and 
so dainty.
