Cactus Dahlias 

 DAHLIA 



Dahlias are as easily raised from seed as sun- 

 flowers, and one often gets unique and beautiful sorts 

 In this way. They bloom the first year, beginning 

 in midsummer, and continue until frost. Not all 

 come double.

 and others. These different sorts are in varying 

 shades of blue, and will furnish both early and late
