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.
