Jackson's Dahlias 
(From Seed) 
So many people do not know that you can 
raise Dahlias from seed and they will bloom 
the first season about four weeks later than 
from tubers. 
CULTURE. Sow seed in flats, covering 
lightly with sand, screened leaf-mold and sim- 
ilar material. Place a square of burlap on top 
of seed bed and keep moist until seed is germ- 
inated, removing the burlap as soon as sprouts 
appear. When plants are 4 to 5 inches high, 
pot them and when well established transplant 
to the garden.

flowering and double varieties. Many wonder-
