DAHLIAS FROM SEED 
It is not generally realized that most beautiful Dahlias may be grown and 
flowered in late summer and autumn from spring-sown seed. Many of them, 
differing from any of the named varieties on the market, and some from seed 
are equally beautiful, the production of novel forms and combinations of color¬ 
ings being most interesting. One of our customers, Mr. A. P. Updike, Reno.Nev., 
writes us thus: ‘‘By planting a packet of your choice Dahlia seed this spring, 
I was successful in raising such beauties, that I secured the First Premium 
—a gold medal—at the Nevada State Fair, for the best display and greatest 
variety of Dahlias." (See cut.)
