Dwarf Bedding Dahlias 
Perfectly formed singles, that grow only 16 in. 
in height. Especially valuable for borders, 
beds, rockeries or in front of shrubbery, etc. 
Need no staking or disbudding. Start blooming very 
early and will continue a mass of color till frost, if all old 
flowers and seed pods are removed weekly. These erect 
flowers, with wire-like stems, make ideal material for small 
bouquets. When cutting select only the very youngest of 
blooms, (those not quite fully open preferred) which will 
last at least 4 days without wilting, 
To have a more bushy plant with more branches 
and many more flowers, I advise topping or pinching out 
the center of the young sprout when a few inches high or 
when first bud shows. Then, when the side branches show 
buds cut back again, leaving 2 or 3 joints on each. Do 
not plant in soil that is too rich or too shady if you want 
them to retain their greatest value—extra dwarf growtn.
