ZERO (Rocky River) Most standard white 
formals of B size have short stems. 
Here is one that has a long stem. The 
white is lightly flushed lavender at cen- 
ters and sometimes near tip of petals. 
Well formed, and good substance, but 
some early blooms are inclined to 
"long" centers, a trait that disappears 
as production increases. A midseason 
variety that holds up well in late season 
when most other varieties have open 
centers. Tall, wide spreading plants, 
with slender canes, permit cutting with 
six foot stems. Size 8x3!/. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00

DAHLIA SEED 
Sow dahlia seed during the month of March in flats, or flower pots, with good 
drainage. Soil sheuld be porous. Place the seeds on top of the soil and then cover the 
seeds with about half an inch of horticultural grade Vermiculite. Sand is a satis- 
factory substitute for Vermiculite, but will require more attention to keep it properly 
moist. Water as often as necessary to maintain moisture at the seed level. The 
first seedlings will appear in a few days, while others may: require a month, or several 
weeks to come up. High germination is largely dependent upon maintaining a proper 
supply of moisture over the entire period. 
Seedlings may be transplanted to other flats (of soil) or into flower pots after 
they have been up about a week.
