Dahlia Seed—A 
All types of dahlias, large flowered, pompon and the small bedding

som the first year. ‘The Coltness bedding dahlias, sown outdoors when 
frost danger is over, will blossom in July, and are no more difficult to 
handle than zinnias. With the large flowered types, an earlier start is 
advisable. Sow in a shallow box or pan in March or early April, 
transplant them carefully as their growth demands, and keep the soil 
moderately moist. When all danger from frost is over, plant in the 
CAMPANULA garden, and from then on they will prove no more trouble than if 
tubers had been used instead of seed.
