DAHLIA SEED 
We are offering our seed in different form this year. To those who wish, as previously, 
run of the patch seed, we make the first group offer. Those who are really interested in 
entering their results in competitions will welcome the second group. The second group is 
all from carefully selected parents of either unusual strength, or unusual color, or both, or 
a cross of them. The seed of this second group has been carefully sorted over several times 
that nothing but the strongest seed shall go out. We guarantee them to be strong and to 
grow.

Dahlia seeds differ considerably from the parent stock, though usually having similar 
characteristics and coloring. The great run of seeds produce only commonplace dahlias, but 
from a group of seeds usually one or more outstanding offspring will result, and from these 
come the new and expensive varieties. In the gamble of producing one of these super 
dahlias lies the fun of raising seedling dahlias. 
A long dry summer made Oregon grown seed develop the best in years. Try some seed this year and be 
amazed at the variety of flowers produced.
