Cactus Dahlias make wonderful Flower Arrangements. 
California Flowerland 
DAHLIA SEED 
For several seasons, we have had on display a large 
bed of several thousand Dahlia plants, grown from our 
own selected Dahlia Seed. These plants made a color- 
ful display, showing what you may expect to get for 
your own garden, from a packet of our Dahlia seed. 
porary forms and colorings, of all types were repre- 
sented. 
It is fascinating to grow Dahlias from seed. This 
is the way new varieties are produced. No two plants 
will be alike, and sometimes you may produce a 
new variety that is outstanding enough to be named. 
Clumps will be produced that may be divided and 
replanted the following season. 
Start seed in flats in February, March or April. In 
about six weeks, they will be big enough to plant out 
in the garden, where they will bloom all summer and 
fall.
