Unwin Dwarf Hybrids. It is easy and fascinating 
to grow Dahlias from seed and enjoy the surprise of 
new colors and forms. We believe this to be the 
best strain of dwarf Dahlias obtainable. Few 
blooms measure less than three inches. Twelve 
inch stems are profusely borne on bushy plants 18 to 
24 inches tall. Some of the lovely new colors are—
