BEGINNER’S COLLECTION 
If you are more interested in colorful blooms and plenty of 
them rather than in growing named varieties, we recommend 
these collections. You can depend on the dahlias included. They 
are our very good varieties but are from extra and odd lots and 
we save time by not naming them for you. No two alike.
