DAHLIA SEED 
Sow in flats or frames in early spring in light soil, 
cover the seed not more than one-fourth inch about 
the same as you would tomatoes. When first pair of 
leaves are well developed transplant into small pots 
or flats and grow in cool temperature until they can 
be planted in the garden. Should they get too large 
pinch back and shift to larger pots giving them room. 
DAHLIA SEEDLINGS do not come true to their 
parentage, but do usually show some similar char¬ 
acteristics in form, color or bush growth. Do not 
expect to grow seedlings of a named variety and 
produce the same variety.
