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 tomato seed. When first pair 
of true 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 never come true to their 
parentage, but do usually show some similar char- 
acteristics in form, color or bush growth. You can- 
not grow seedlings of a named variety and pro- 
duce the same variety.
