Grow Dahlias from seed. This is the way all new varieties are origi¬ 
nated. Dahlias grown from seed will flower the first season. It is the 
most facinating phase of Dahlia culture. Every seedling will be differ¬ 
ent, each a new variety. They will not all be prize winners, but if 
you secure good seed, your chances for success are greater. The seed 
we offer is well ripened and hand picked from strong, healthy bushes 
of the newest and best exhibition varieties. It is grown in a locality 
that is free from singles, pompon and other small types, and therefore 
should produce a good percentage of large double flowers. Don’t waste 
your time and efforts on cheap seed. Buy the best and get results.
