SOME GOOD DAHLIAS. 



G. D. Black, Independence, la., gives 

 the following notes on dahlias that have 

 done well in the great corn state: 



About the first of May we take the dry 

 roots from the cellar and divide them 

 with a sharp knife, so as to have only 

 one eye or sprout to each piece of root. 

 They form better plants and flowers ii 

 only one stalk is allowed to grow. Wc 

 plant them so that the point from which 

 the sprout starts is from four to six 

 inches below the surface after the earth 

 has been leveled. We cover them only 

 about one-half inch deep at the time ot 

 planting, and fill in two or three weekt 

 later, after the plant has formed a 

 strong, hard, woody base. This deep 

 planting has several advantages. It gives 

 the plant a firm anchorage against the 

 winds. It is not so easily affected by the 

 drought, and the new roots are not in- 

 jured by early freezes in the fall. 



The dahlia cannot do its best unless it 

 has plenty of room and good cultivation 

 until the middle of summer. In field 

 culture we make the rows about eight 

 feet apart and cultivate often enough to
