DAHLIA SEEDS: 
Hand-Pollenized Seeds from the Largest and Best Varieties . $10.00 per 100, net. 
These seeds are from the very best dahlias grown and are the same as we plant ourselves. Such 
seeds are never plentiful. It should be borne in mind that growing dahlias from seed is solely 
a matter of experiment. It is not easy to originate a good new variety. From a packet of seeds 
you will get many kinds and colors and you may be fortunate in getting something very good. 
Some of our seed customers have been quite successful. The better the seed, the better the chance. 
DAHLIA COLLECTIONS: 
Special Dahlia Collections . $25.00 per dozen and $10.00 per dozen, net. 
These collections are made up of first class varieties, all different and all tagged with their proper 
names. Each collection is worth at least double the amount charged according to catalogue list 
price. Purchases made in this manner represent real bargains.
