Cactus Dahlia. 



DAHLIAS 



Plant in a sunny situation in strong, deep, rich soil 

 that has been liberally manured. They are gross feed- 

 ers and succeed best when given plenty of room and an 

 abundant supply of water. Stir the ground frequently 

 about them. 



For large exhibition flowers, only a single stem 

 should be allowed to grow, and that should be pinched 

 back to two pairs of leaves from which four strong 

 branches will gr-ow that are usually stiff enough to 

 support themselves without tying up.
