Growing dahlias from seed 
is one of the most popular and 
fascinating garden hobbies. 
There seems to be endless pos¬ 
sibilities packed in¬ 
to every little dahlia 
seed. When you sow 
the seeds from a 
plant that has borne 
yellow blooms you 
will probably have 
flowers that are 
every other shade 
except yellow. The 
one thing that the 
dahlia is certain to 
pass on to its prog¬ 
eny is quality. It is, 
therefore, important 
to grow from prop¬ 
erly selected seed. 
Our strains are de¬ 
rived from prize¬ 
winning parents and, in turn, these seeds 
will produce flowers of extraordinary colors 
and size that will capture high honors in 
the show room. It is from seed, not from 
tubers, that the new varieties are obtained 
and they are quite as likely to occur in the 
garden of an amateur as in that of the 
professional. 
A dollar or two spend in dahlia seed each 
year will soon give you a stock of prize¬ 
winning dahlias of your own introduction 
at far less cost than buying tubers.
