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 6 inches deep 

 and set the tuber flat in the bottom. Cover with 2 or 3 inches 



of soil and fill in gradually as the plant grows. Drive a stout 

 stake beside the plant and tie the canes to it for support. Cul- 

 tivate, water and feed regularly during the growing season.
