‘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 reproduce fairly true to color and type, but large flowering types can be 
expected to produce some singles and éemi-doubles.
