The Dahlia is one of our best autumn flowering plants 
and is so easily raised from seed that one need not go to the 
expense of buying bulbs. They flower the first season if 
started in the house in March or April. To give my patrons 
several varieties, without increased expense, I have includ 
ed in this mixture a fine dwarf strain, the New Cactus Dah 
lia, besides the standard tall varieties. Mixed. Pkt., 4 cts- 
Single Dahlia, Splendid single varieties. Mixed. Pkt., 3c- 
Gafva,III,,April, 1899.—“My Dahlias that came from your seed 
last year were lovely, and old flower raisers could hardly believe 
they were from seed,” Emma A. Sipes.
