Few flowers compare with the Dahlia in charming diversity of 

 form and wide range of brilliant colors. Certainly no other 

 surpasses it for autumn display either in the garden or as a cut 

 flower. 



Dahlias of the "Formal Decorative" type have large grace- 

 fully formed flowers with broader, flatter petals than any of 

 the others. The "Informal Decorative" varieties have petals 

 that are somewhat narrower and more quilled than the "Formal." 

 The "Semi-Cactus" flowers are intermediate between the "In- 

 formal Decorative" and the "Cactus" types, while the "Cactus" 

 are the true quilled Dahlias. The "Ball" types were formerly 

 known as ' 'Show" types. 



The roots are tender and easily injured by frost. They should 

 be set out three feet apart, after all danger of frost is past. 

 The best blooms are sometimes obtained if planting is deferred 

 until continued warm weather is assured. The soil should 

 be deeply dug and well drained but only moderately en- 

 riched with thoroughly rotted barnyard manure. A stiff 

 clay should be avoided. A sunny situation is desirable 

 as- well as plenty of space and air. Place the roots hor- 

 izontally, covering two to three inches deep. Give thorough 

 cultivation and during dry weather water well once a week. 

 In order to secure the largest blooms, it is the common 

 practice to remove the side shoots and lateral buds, leaving 

 a single flower to a stem. Dahlias usually do not require 

 much fertilizer, and fresh barnyard manure especially 

 should not be used. The plants should be supported by 

 tying to stakes. The roots should be stored during winter 

 in a cool cellar but not allowed to freeze.
