Cactus Dahlia. 
DAHLIAS 
Plant in a sunny situation in strong, deep, 
rich 
soil that has been liberally manured. They are gross 
feeders 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 grow that are usually stiff enough to 
support themselves without tying up.
