SEED 
You will notice a list of small varieties listed in this catalog. 
Just before seeding time for the large varieties, the small varie- 
ties are stripped and cut down almost even with the ground so 
that there is no cross with the large ones. We then go over the 
entire garden and pull every bloom on the large varieties so 
that they start fresh with no chance of crossing with the smaller 
types. Our seed then comes from only the large varieties. They 
are all ripened on the bush, hand picked and hand tested, and 
are from disease-free stock. As these dahlias are hybrids, their 
seed do not come true, thus producing a new variety with every 
seed. 
Order seed now for 1949 planting and they will be shipped 
beginning in January. Orders are filled as they are received, so 
to avoid disappointment, place your order immediately. It is 
very important that you give a second and third choice when 
ordering.
