CHAPPAQUA DAHLIA SEED 
If you want a thrill, grow Dahlias from seed. This is the way all new 
varieties are originated. Dahlias grown from seed will flower the first 
season. It is the most fascinating phase of Dahlia culture. Every seed¬ 
ling will be different, each a new variety. They will not all be prize 
winners, but if you secure good seed, your chances for success are great. 
The seed we offer is well ripened and hand picked from strong, healthy 
bushes, of the newest and best exhibition varieties. It is grown in a 
location that is free from singles, pompons and other small types, and 
therefore will produce a good percentage of large double flowers. The 
best varieties are generally shy seed producers. Poor ones are generally 
large seed producers, and therefore the seed from such stock can be sold 
cheaper. Don’t waste your time and efforts on cheap seed. Buy the 
best and get results. We have many repeat orders year after year on 
this strain of seed.

CALIFORNIA DAHLIA SEED 
We offer the finest California Dahlia seed which is especially grown 
for us from selected new top-notch varieties. It is grown in the best 
section of California for this purpose, under ideal conditions and in a 
section that is free from singles and small types. It is carefully gathered, 
well ripened and hand cleaned. There is much seed offered for less 
money, but it is expensive in the end. It usually comes from varieties 
that are big seed producers regardless of quality. But if you want 
something really good, the seed must come from tip-top varieties, which 
are very shy seed producers. Therefore this sort of seed is not abundant 
and higher in price. This strain of seed is worth a trial. You will 
get results. Trial packet (20 seeds) $1.00 postpaid 
REGULAR PACKET (100 seeds), $5.00
