Bolgiano'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 of humus 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 where drainage is good, and fill in gradually as the plant 



grows. Where drainage is poor, cover sufficiently so that water 

 will not stand in the vicinity of the root. Drive a stout stake 

 beside the plant and tie the canes to it for support. Cultivate, 

 water and feed regularly during the growing season.
