DAHLIA 
Carter’s 
Cross-Fertilized 
Strains 
Our strain has been 
specially hybridized and 
fertilized with various 
species, and should produce 
some novel kinds. Sow the 
seed in early spring, in heat, 
and pot off. Plant out as 
soon as large enough in 
June.

visitors were, in fact, 
surprised that the 
Dahlia can be so 
easily raised from 
seed sown in the 
early spring.
