PALMER SEED COMPANY, ST. LOUIS, MO. 
DAHLIA SEED 
Culture A, B or C 
Another much favored plant at A Century of Progress last year. 
Dahlias of all types are easily grown from seed, and are quite inexpensively 
raised through this medium, blossoming about 4 months from seed. The Coltness 
or bedding dahlias, when sown as soon as the frost is out of the ground, will start 
blooming in July and August and will continue to flower heavily until frost. The 
flowers have a charm and delicacy that make them especially valuable for cutting. 
It is advisable to start the larger flowered types earlier, but are just as easily grown 
as the bedding types.- Grow them in the full sun.
