Dalllias from Seed 
It is easy, most interesting and fascinating to grow Dahlias from seed and 
enjoy the surprise of new colors and forms. If the seed is started early, plants 
will bloom the same season. Single and small flowered varieties reproduce 
fairly true to color and type but seed saved from the finest double flowers rf 
the large flowering types will produce some singles and semi-doubles.
