DAHLIAS FROM SEED 
It is easy and fascinating to grow dahlias 
from seed and enjoy the surprise of new 
colors and forms. Seeds of the tall dahlias 
should be started early indoors; the seed of 
the dwarf varieties may be sown in the 
open when the soil has become warm. 
Single and small-flowered varieties repro- 
duce fairly true to color and type, but large- 
flowering types can be expected to produce 
some singles and semi-doubles.
