 live over Winter, and give satisfaction and pleasure the second season.

 as the best ever offered ; they grow 10 to 15 inches, and, as is well 

 known, cannot be surpassed for edging or bedding.

Dahlias from Seed 



In 1886 we first called attention to the fact that Dahlias for Summer 

 and Autumn flowering could easily and successfully be grown from 

 seed sown in the Spring, and the expense of purchasing bulbs thereby 

 be saved. Each year this new plan of raising Dahlias finds increased 

 favor with flower people. Dahlia seeds germinate quickly, and the 

 plants grow very rapidly. For best results start the seed indoors 

 early and transplant when all danger of frost is past. We make a 

 great specialty of Dahlia seed, and our selections cannot be surpassed.
