RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS 



DAHLIA. 



One of our best late summer and autumn flowering plants; the double sorts 

 will bloom the first season if the seed is sown before the beginning of April ; 

 the single sorts will bloom from seed sown in the open ground as late as June. 

 Many prefer the single sorts to Cosmos, they having a larger variety of colors 

 and a longer season of bloom. PER p KT .
