DAHLIA 



Half Hardy Perennial 



Dahlia plants, from seed sown in- 

 doors in a shallow box in March or 

 April and transplanted as soon as 

 danger of frost is past, will bloom 

 abundantly the first summer and 

 g-ive a magnificent display of bright 

 colors late in the season. Seed of- 

 fered below is saved from large 

 flowering double Dahlias. As these 

 flowers are hybrids, we cannot 

 guarantee type; no two flowers will be exactly alike 

 and some are likely to be single-flov/ering. Roots of 

 any favorites may be saved, storing them in the 

 house during the winter.

 decorative, peony and pompon varieties. It must be 

 remembered that seed procured from double Dahlias 

 is certain to produce some singles, many of which 

 are very beautiful.
