DAHLIA ORDERS FOR LESS THAN $1.00 NOT ACCEPTABLE 
DAHLIA SEED 
Autumn of 1938 was very favorable for the pollination of dah¬ 
lias, both by hand and naturally, which enabled: us to secure a 
nice crop of very high quality seed, saved from the very best 
double flowered varieties that we know are good seed parents. 
The seed we here offer you are the surplus over and above our 
own requirements and are exactly the same quality we retain 
for our own use. Dahlias will bloom from seed in 10-12 weeks 
from time of planting, and sh ould be sown in reasonably good 
soil around the middle of March. Later sowing will produce 
quite as good results but blooming is delayed accordingly. We 
know the seed we offer are of the highest quality obtainable, but 
we cannot guarantee the results you will have with them, as 
growing dahlias from seed is purely a gamble', and every one 
must take that chance with them. Seed never reproduce varieties 
like the seed parents, all will be different, though some may re¬ 
semble the seed parents in type of flower, or plant. 
Supply is limited, ‘and while they last orders will be filled at 
the popular price of $5.00 per 100, 200 for $9.00.
