DAHLIA SEED 
Annual-Perennials 
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 ta 
offer our customers the very best seed that can be produced. 
Each year we test the seed from new named varieties and also seedlings of 
our own. Those that prove to be good seed parents and produce good off- 
spring are planted in our home garden where all of our seed is produced. 
Our mild fall has been most favorable for ripening of seed and enables us 
to again offer seed of the highest quality. The seed we offer this year is as 
fine as can be had at any price. 
Many dahlias that are now in commerce have been produced by our cus- 
tomers from seed purchased from us. 
A packet of our Selected Dahlia seed costs $2.50 and will produce from 60 
to 75 plants that will grow into full size bushes and give abundance of blooms 
the first year. No two of these will be alike and there is always the chance. 
- of producing a new variety that is outstanding enough to be named, regis- 
tered and sold commercially. Each plant will produce a clump of tubers that 
can be divided and planted the following season. 
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 SEND: all danger 
from frost is over. 
Dahlia seed is not sold in smaller quantities than TaiCateel
