Dahlias From Seed 
Easy to Grow and Bloom the First Year 
But few people know Dahlias 
can be raised from seed and will 
bloom the first year. The seeds 
germinate as easily and certain¬ 
ly as Zinnias, and from the very 
first development are strong and 
sturdy little plants. Plant them 
in a shallow box or pan in 
March or early April, transplant 
them carefully as their growth 
demands, and keep the soil mod¬ 
erately moist. 
Do not be afraid to grow Dah¬ 
lias from seed, you will be more 
than pleased with the results. 
Again there is always a chance 
that you may produce some new 
sorts that will be of value to 
you. We are selling more pack¬ 
ages of Dahlia seed every year, 
j And the growing of them in this 
I manner is steadily increasing in 
I popularity. Package of mixed 
seeds No. 1179 15c. 
Dianthus (Garden Pinks) 
FINE FOR CUTTING 
Columbine (Perennial) 
Very attractive long spurred varieties. Aejuilegias are 
among the most beautiful of spring flowers. We do not 
know of any hardy plant that is more easily handled than 
the Columbine. It is one of the best loved hardy peren¬ 
nials and a typically American flower of which we may 
justly feel proud. The plants will “self sow” and con¬ 
tinue their beauty from year to year. This plant has an 
AIRY GRACE which can hardly be duplicated in any 
other flower. Columbines are very generous in their 
blooms and admirably adapted for cut flowers. Seed should 
be sown in the ground in early spring and they will often 
bloom the same season, or they may be planted the latter 
part of August for spring flowering the following year.

This is a dear old fashioned

for their brilliant, contrast¬ 
ing variety of colors appear¬

stripes and spots make the 
clusters stand out distinctly. 
Very easily grown from seed. 
Should be sown outdoors in 
early spring. In a few weeks 
plants will be up and you 
will be delighted with their 
riot of color and pleasing

should be in every garden.
