DAHLIAS 
Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive 
best in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted 
in a horizontal position, with the sprout up and about 
four inches below the surface; they should be set 
three or four feet apart each way, in deeply spaded soil. 
Mulch with peat moss and allow only one shoot to 
stand. A good plant food applied just as the buds start 
to form will increase the size and improve the color of 
the blooms. If large exhibition blossoms are desired, 
it is absolutely necessary to disbud. After the frost 
has killed the flowers, the roots should be removed from 
the ground, allowed to dry for two or three days, and 
then stored away in peat moss in a cool, dry, dark place, 
where frost will not reach them.
