SEEDS 



HYBRIDIZED DAHLIA SBBD. 



This seed Is raised from the most up-to-date 

 Dahlias In existence. No place In the world haye 

 Dahlias been brought up to such perfection as 

 they bare been around San Francisco. This mix- 

 ture contains all colors and types of Peony, Cac- 

 tus and Decorative yarleties. Our rainless Oali- 

 fornla summers malce it possible to get seed even 

 from the Tery double Tarletles, a result extremely 

 difficult in States where It is rainy during the 

 time when the seed should set. 



The seed we sent out in previous year* was 

 highly praised by all who raised Dahlias from it, 

 but this seed is far superior to what we have sent 

 out in prevlouB years. The seedlings will com- 

 mence to flower two months after sewing and al- 

 most a month earlier than plants raised from 

 bulbs.

Gentlemen: The Dahlia Seed received from 

 you last year turned out fine. Could not think 

 Dahlias could be grown from seed in such short 

 time. Had some very fine blooms. One yellow 

 Peony flowered that was extra flne, some 8 inches 

 and a clear canary-yellow. Everyone who saw it 

 was amazed at the size grown from seed. Had 

 a clear flesh-pink; beautiful under lamp light. 

 Respectfully, Wm. McBrier.

 sold as fast as they came in bloom and brought 

 a better price than ordinary Petunias. 

 Yours truly,

THB DIBNBR TOMATO. 



Increase your tomato yield one hundred per 

 cent by raising the new DIENBR TOMATO. 30- 

 40 tons of ripe fruit to the acre. 



This tomato was raised last year all over the 

 United States and Canada with the greatest sat- 

 isfaction. 



As smooth as an apple and of a maKniflcent 

 dark red color. Single tomatoes weigh up to 8 

 lbs. each. The flesh Is more solid than tnat of 

 any other tomato. The fruit contains very little 

 seed and is solidly filled out. This tomato is 

 free of the acid taste, and for dehydrating, cat- 

 sup and canning It is the best tomato in exist- 

 ence today. 



The DIBNBR TOMATO is blight-resistlns as 

 well as drought-resisting. It will not crack from 

 the rain and will not rot while lying on the 

 ground in wet weather. This tomato will grow 

 In almost any kind of soli and it commences to 

 ripen the first part of August. 



It Is the greatest novelty In the tomato line, 

 and it will soon crowd out the present varieties 

 from the market by its far superior qualities. 



Price of the DIENER TOMATO SEED: Sam- 

 ple pkg., 25c; one-quarter of an acre pkg., 60c; 

 one acre pkg., $1.50.
