SEED 
You will notice a list of small varieties listed in this catalog. 
Just before seeding time for the large varieties, the small varieties 
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 the 1950 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.
