DAHLIA SEED 
It costs no more to grow plants from the best seed than 
the poorest. 
We have grown dahlia seed for over twenty years and 
it has been our ambition to offer our customers the very 
best seed that can be produced. The best of these are 
hand pollinated. Seed from these are put into our best 
grade which is listed as “SELECTED DAHLIA SEED.” 
Dahlias grown from seed produce full size bushes and 
flower freely the first year. 
These plants produce clumps of tubers that can be di- 
vided and planted the following year. 
Dahlia seed of all types is best started in flats. February 
is good planting time in California, March or April, 
where frosts last longer. Some of the seeds will sprout 
in a week or ten days, others take five or six weeks. Six 
weeks will be required to grow the plants big enough 
to set out—after all danger from frost is over.

the colorful display at Treasure Island in both 1939 and 1940. Single and semi-double 
flowers on plants 12 to 20 inches high. Good keepers, invaluable in small bouquets, and 
striking in the garden. Especially desirable for massing. Can be planted a foot apart.

that can be planted the next season. 100 (or more) seeds to packet.

POMPON DAHLIA SEED 
Pompon dahlias are the small “button” 
dahlias. While the seed of these do not give 
100% pompons, it gives a large percentage 
of attractive “button” dahlias. Besides pom- 
pons, these seeds usually produce a number 
of duplex dahlias (small flowers with two 
or three petals), and often attractive min- 
iature dahlias.
