BOWL OF MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
POMPON DAHLIAS 
Pompon Dahlias have been favorites with 
many flower lovers and Dahlia fanciers in 
the past and they still hold their own. They

of bloom, rewarding the grower with an end- 
less supply of gorgeous cut flowers during 
late summer and fall.

stems fine for cutting. Each 50c.

lar owing to their usefulness. Can be planted 
in garden, border or beds fairly close, about

makes them ideal for arrangements. 
Miniature Dahlias are vest pocket size of all 
types of dahlias.
