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 in- 
doors; 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 semi-doubles.
