Cactus Dahlia (Countess of Lonsdale). 
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.
