bright deep-blue for your garden. The flowers are in sprays like Forget- 
Me-Nots on plants 18 inches tall. One of the easiest flowers to bloom 
from seed sown outdoors. Pkt..15c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 144 Oz. 50c. 
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.
