Dahlia Seed 
Again we offer dahlia seed grown by Mr. Cordes in California. 
Regardless of price, no better is grown. This is the same seed that has 
produced Bette Davis, Kay Francis, Amelia Earhart, La Fiesta, Elissa 
Landi, Louise Bates and many others. This seed is sold with the hope 
that you will get just as good dahlias as these and your chances are 
the same as ours. 
Cordes seed produces fully 80% double flowers. It is selected from 
the newest and best varieties. Germination is almost 100%. One hun¬ 
dred of these seeds will give you a dahlia garden from which hundreds 
of flowers may be cut, all of which will be equal to many that have 
been introduced at high prices and you always stand the chance of 
securing a world-beater that will be your very own. 
If you have lost heavily because of drouth, storms, or freezing, 
you can have fine dahlias at a very moderate cost. If you have never 
grown seed, try some this year. Many of the largest growers are grow¬ 
ing this seed. What better recommendation can it have ? Cheap seed 
will only produce cheap dahlias. It is better to grow 50 good seeds 
than 1000 poor ones because you will have more fine flowers with much 
less labor. 
Our seed customers are increasing each year and we have many 
letters telling of the wonderful flowers that have been grown and of 
their winnings in the seedling classes at the shows. Try some of our 
seed this year and realize the greatest thrill of growing dahlias. Send
