do I gi a no's dahlias 



Dahlia tubers should not be planted until all frost danger is past. Set them in beds or borders in full sun. Rich soil containing plenty d 

 inius will give best results. Dig a hole 5 inches deep and lay the tuber flat in the bottom. Cover with 2 or 3 inches of soil and fill in graduall:5 

 the plant grows. Good drainage is essential. Cultivate, water and feed regularly with Bolgiano's Gold Tag Bulb Food 4-8-12.
