Dahlias from Seed— Tall and Dwarf, Big and Little 
It is easy and fascinating to grow dahlias from seed and enjoy the surprise of new colors 
and forms. Seeds of the tall dahlias should be started early indoors; the seed of the dwarf 
varieties may be sown in the open when the soil has become warm. Single and small- 
flowered varieties reproduce fairly true to color and type, but large-flowering types will 
produce some singles and semi-doubles. For roots of dahlias, see pages 120 and 121.
