DAHLIAS from Seed () 
For an Exciting Venture 
Growing Dahlias from seed is as fascinating as it is 
interesting and the two hybrid varieties we offer are 
especially well suited to the average home garden. 
Their limited height,-handy size of the blooms, and 
bushy habit make them fit where the tall giant-flowered 
kinds are altogether out of place. Start the seed indoors 
in March in sandy soil and set the plants in the garden 
after the nights have turned balmy. You will be surpised 
to see them blooming freely from July until frost.
