Dahlia Seed 



Growing Dahlias from seed is very in- 

 teresting, for no two plants are alike in 

 color. The seed we offer is collected from 

 only the finest named varieties and should 

 produce many new and distinct sorts. 



Seed of the Double and Cactus varieties, 

 sown in early April, will bloom freely the 

 first season, and the single sorts will bloom 

 even if sown as late as June. Use same 

 cultural directions as for cabbage or to- 

 matoes.
