FINE DOUBLE AND SINGLE DAHLIAS.— Do you know that elegant Dahlias 

 are now grown from seed quite as quickly as from bulbs or plants, and at less than one- 

 tenth the cost ? The seed germinates easily, the plants grow rapidly, bloom very quickly 

 and produce splendid large flowers of the most gorgeous colors. The SINGLE DAHLIAS 

 are now preferred to the Double and are exceedingly brilliant and striking and come more 

 true from'seed. Our seed is all saved from extra selected blooms of the finest named sorts 

 and will produce superb flowers of all the choicest shades of color. It can be sown in open 

 ground, but is better to be started in pots or boxes in the house, or in a hot-bed and the 

 young plants transplanted in good rich ground after danger of frost is past. 

 Dahlia (Seed) Double. — Extra choice from select blooms only, per packet, 20 cents. 

 Dahlia (Seed) Single. — Extra choice from select blooms only, per packet, 20 cents. 



ZINNIAS. — Having taken particular pains with Zinnias, we believe ours to be the finest 

 that can be produced. The flowers resemble Dahlias in size and brilliancy of colors ; our 

 mixtures include various distinct shades of white, cream, lemon, yellow, orange, buff, blush, 

 pink, crimson, vermilion, scarlet and maroon.
