DAHLIA SEEDS—SMALL FLOWERING 
^rown from seed, small flowering dahlias are 
perhaps the most satisfactory, inexpensive planting 
any garden lover can make. Since they bloom from 
seed the first year, they have all the advantages 
common to annuals—yet the fact that they repro¬ 
duce themselves from bulbs gives them all the fine 
characteristics of perennials. In addition, dahlia 
bulbs come true to the first blooming, and since 
they can be increased much faster than most per¬ 
ennials, only a very few seasons are required to 
.. build up a complete bedding of the very finest 
Mr. Salbach hybridizins dahlias. i • r • • t 
selections from your original crop. 
In addition to being “perennial annuals,” small-flowering dahlias are most use¬ 
ful in that they require only a small amount of garden space, but bloom and bloom, 
giving cut-flowers over a period of many months of each year. 
Singles, Pompons, and Unwin Dwarfs, the three types of small flowering dahlias 
we offer, are all fine keepers and most exquisite in table bouquets or other small 
flower arrangements. See page 22 for picture of Unwin Dwarfs. 
Fifty (or more) seeds to packet of Unwin Dwarf or Salbach Single dahlias. Like 
other dahlia seed, both of these types are easy germinators, and bloom the first year.
