CALIFORNIA'S BEST DAHLIA SEED 
PREMIER has made new contact with an “EXPERT HYBRIDIZER OF CALIFORNIA” 
and the seedlings planted by us this season are giving very satisfactory results and 
several are so outstanding they are deserving of retrial another year. Then too, the 
germination of these seeds have been so much higher than those we have planted for 
a number of years, we don't believe you can beat them for fertility. They are from the 
best and latest introductions.
