“A Dahlia in Every Garden in 1936” 
DAHLIA SEED 
Everyone who grows dahlias either for a hobby, for 
pastime, for recreation, or as a commercial grower, have 
missed many of the thrills of dahlia culture if they have 
not allotted at least a small portion of their garden spot 
to the growing of a few seedlings. No greater thrill can 
be derived than from watching the development of each 
plant into maturity and blossom. As each plant will pro- 
duce a different bloom as to color and formation, you will 
be making several trips per day to the seedling patch 
to watch the developments. 
But, first of all, the most essential part in growing 
dahlias from seed is to secure the best seed obtainable. 
We believe we are very fortunate in being selected by 
Mr. Richard W. Petrie of Gardena, California to repre¬ 
sent and sell dahlia seed from his gardens. Trials in our 
gardens from Petrie’s Select Dahlia Seed has proven very 
satisfactory to us and we believe it will prove equally sat- 
isfactroy to you. This dahlia seed is plant ripened under 
California sunshine, delivered to us in sealed packets bear¬ 
ing the name of the grower, Mr. Richard W. Petrie, Gar¬ 
dena, California. No finer dahlia seed can be produced. 
Varities grown by Mr. Petrie in his gardens during the 
season of 1935 and from which the seed for Spring 
Planting 1936 has been obtained are herewith recorded.
