DAHLIAS HHP 



These are so easily grown from seed

past two seasons afford single and double 

 flowers in wonderful variety, all classes 

 coming quite true from seed, and supply- 

 ing magnificent colors. In the garden 

 these seedling Dahlias bloom as early and 

 freely as the plants grow' from tubers. 

 Dahlias should have good rich soil, pinch- 

 ing out the points of growths tends to 

 dwarf the plants and also incites to earlier 

 flowering.
