DAHLIA SEED 
Autumn of 1940 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 require- 
ments 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 should be sown in reasonably good soil around the middle of 
March. Later sowing will produce quite as good results but bloom- 
ing 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 gam- 
ble, and every one must take that chance with them. Seed never 
reproduce varieties like the seed parents, all will be different, 
though some may resemble the seed parents in type of flower or 
lant. 
Supply is limited, and while they last orders will be filled at the 
popular price of $5.00 per 100.

Kemp's Fine Gladiolus 
WHAT SIZES SHOULD YOU BUY? 
That all depends on what they are intended for. If for blooms 
and reasonable increase by bulblets, the largest size bulbs usually 
produce two to three spikes of medium to good size blooms. If for 
exhibition, second size will produce a splendid spike, perhaps two. 
Third size bulbs will produce a good spike of bloom, but hardly 
good enough for the show. Fourth size, will usually produce fair 
sized spikes, as will No.’s 5 and 6 sizes, but are of inferior size and 
quality. The smaller bulbs will give you the greater quantity of 
good bulblets. 
Gladiolus Bulb Sizes 
No. 1 measures in diameter, 114 inches and over. No. 2, 1% 
to 11% inches. No. 3, 1 inch to 1% inches. No. 4, % to 1 inch.
