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 plentj 

 imus 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 fdl in gradua 

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