Strong Plants will be ready to send out by the Ist of May. Rootscan be had 
from the 10th of November to the 1st of May. 
Dahlias delight in a rich, loamy soil; nor can they be too highly manured 
with well-decomposed cow manure. During a season of drought, water them 
twice a week with manure water, thin out superfluous branches, and see that 
they are well secured to strong stakes. The roots are best preserved in winter 
in dry sand, and placed safe from damp, fire heat, and frost.
