THE DAHLIA SEED SUPREME 
“Producer of FIRST PRIZE WINNERS, CERTIFICATE of MERIT 
at TRIAL GROUNDS, and Varieties on THE HONOR ROLLS.” 
The 1935 Dahlia Seed crop was about a total failure, therefore 
there is a great scarcity of good seed. I am one of the fortunate ones 
who has a fairly good supply on hand, bjit I am short on many 
individual varieties.

I also sell 25 seed from a named variety (seed bearing pare 
at $1.00 per packet, with name of parent; the following are some of 
these varieties: 
utq. 
Amun Ra., Andreas Hofer, Chemar’s Eureka, Copper Chief, 
Epler’s Gold, Golden Dream, Golden Goblin (one of the very best 
parents), Grandola, Jersey Beacon, Jersey Beauty, Mrs. Warner, 
Orange Beacon, Red Bird and a lot more in small quantities. 1935 
seedlings in my customer’s hands took First Prizes at Boston, Red 
Bank and other shows; in fact I have received some wonderful 
reports from patrons stating the immense size they have grown them. 
HOW TO PLANT DAHLIA SEED 
We plant in “flats”, 18 inches square, 3 inches deep; put good 
potting soil in bottom, pack well down cover with rather more than 
one inch of mixed sand and fine peat mess. Plant seed rather less 
than half inch deep, the smaller seed cover very lightly, water well 
down, and place in a fairly warm shaded place. Put a piece of paper, 
burlap or sheet of glass over to retain moisture till well sprouted, 
don’t water heavy, don’t allow to dry out, don’t place seed in open 
garden ground; when 3 or 4 inches high they should be potted. 
Please remember when setting out Seedlings or Green Plants (made 
from root cuttings), always plant them down much deeper than they 
grow in pots, well above the lowest set of leaves. 
My Eastern representative is Mr. Presley E. Caldwell, Creek 
Side Dahlia Gardens, Richmondale, Ohio; he has for years made a 
great success of growing my seed. His “Chinese Lantern” is one; he 
makes a specialty of shipping Green Plants from the very latest 
varieties and allow me to tell you, he knows how to crate them, 
open air system, all grow for me and will for you; don’t fail to get 
his new catalog. 
Our latest introductions and Certificate of Merit Dahlias at 1934 
and 1935 Trial Grounds are listed in it. I was the original introducer 
of Challenger, now on Hart’s Honor Roll, originated! from Barker 
stock by Ralph Watkins. 
I also have for sale, field grown dahlia roots, some pot roots, 
and Mammoth Zinnia Seed, this 50 cents per packet.
