Dingee Dahlias 



The splendid qualities and gorgeous beauty of the present-day 

 Dahlia have won for it a place at the head of the most important 

 garden plants. ?sone are easier to grow, respond more readily to 

 care and attention, or flower more freely. Few cultivated plants 

 have a wider range of color. The brilliant shades and the free, fluffy 

 Chrysanthemum-like form of its flowers make an enchanting spectacle 

 which never fails to attract attention. Plant soon as ground is warm 

 in a moderately rich soil, covering the tubers six inches deep. Thin 

 to one or two shoots. Cultivate weU until it begins to bloom: after 

 that !tir only the surface soil just enough to prevent a crust forming.
