Keen interest has been manifest of late in the growing of Dahlias from seed. From 
the large decorative soris to the smaller bedding varieties you will find interest in” 
' : producing dahlia planis from seed. Many of the named varieties from which our 
PRT of SO SeEOS 109, Be Sede oho Vi seed is collected would cost you considerable in the root form. Start the seed indoors 
: ; in March or April, transplant to location and you will have bloom from the middle 
of the summer till frost. We usually consider that the Dahlia will be in flower in 
from 100 to 105 days from the date of planting the seeds; so you can make your plans 
accordingly.
