New Dahlias 



Fluffy center petals and alluring pastel tones make Myra 

 Howard one of the outstanding new Dahlias. 



You will find Jersey's Buttercup very much to your liking if 

 you are looking for soft, clear yellow. It's a beauty. 



Dahlias of the "Formal Decorative" [FD] type have large 



gracefully formed flowers with broader, flatter petals than 



any of the others. The "Informal Decorative" [ID] varieties 



have petals that are somewhat narrower and more quilled 



than the "Formal." The "Semi-Cactus" flowers are 



intermediate between the "Informal Decorative" and 



the "Cactus" types, while the "Cactus" are the true 



quilled Dahlias. The "Ball" types were formerly 



known as "Show" types. 



The roots are tender and easily injured by frost. 

 They should be set out three feet apart, after all 

 danger of frost is past. The best blooms are sometimes 

 obtained if planting is deferred until continued warm 

 weather is assured. The soil should be deeply dug 

 and well drained but only moderately enriched with 

 bone meal or thoroughly rotted barnyard maniu-e. 

 A stiff clay should be avoided. 'A sunny situation is 

 desirable as well as plenty of space and air. Place the roots 

 horizontally, covering two to three inches deep. Give thor- 

 ough cultivation and during dry weather water well once a 

 week. In order to secure the largest blooms, it is the common 

 practice to remove the side shoots and lateral buds, leaving 

 a single flower to a stem. Dahlias usually do not require 

 much fertilizer and fresh barnyard manure especially should 

 not be used. The plants should be supported by tying to 

 stakes. The roots should be stored during winter in a cool 

 cellar but not allowed to freeze.
