Dingee Dahlias 



The splendid qualities and gorj^eous beauty of the present-day 

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

 den plants. None are easier to grow, respond more readily to rare 

 and attention, or flower more freely. Few cultivated plants have a 

 wider range of color. The brilliant shades and the free, fluffy Chrys- 

 anthemum-like form of its flowers make an enchantinf;: 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 well until it begins 1o bloom; after 

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