Annual Dahlias are very easy to grow. 
~ DAHLIA SEED 
2606—Unwins Dwarf Hybrids. If you haven’t 
planted dahlias from seed you are missing 
one of the most satisfying annuals. The 
flowers are semi-double in soft pinks, deep 
rose, salmon, buff, yellow, orange, scarlet and 
crimson. Plants grow 2 feet high with a 
spread of 18 inches. The tubers of those 
colors you like may be saved since separate 
colors of these hybrids are not possible from 
seed. If stems are dipped in hot water for a 
few minutes after cutting, the cut flowers will 
last for days.
