1455 The grand champion Gold 

 Medal Winner, All-America selec- 

 tion of flowers for 1935. Cosmos 

 Klondyke formerly took seven to 

 eight months to bring into bloom. 

 This grand new variety shortens 

 the time to a little over four 

 months, so that seed planted the 

 first of May will produce a riot of 

 color during September. Plants 

 grow 2 to 3 feet tall, bushy mari- 

 gold-like foliage with bright or- 

 ange flowers. Pkt., 15c.

Dahlia Seed 



Growing Dahlias from seed is very inter- 

 esting, 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.

 seed. Flowers are very bright and attrac- 

 tive. Excellent for cut flowers. Pkt., 25c.
