DAHLIA SEED 
Sow in flats or frames in early spring in light soil, 
cover the seed not more than one-fourth inch about 
the same as you would tomato seed. When first pair 
of true leaves are well developed transplant into small 
pots or flats and grow in cool temperature until they 
can be planted in the garden. Should they get too 
large pinch back and shift to larger pots.
