Dingee Dahlias 



Tliesi)leiidi(l qualities and f,'()rf,'0()iis IxNUily of the prosont-clay 

 Dahlia have won for it a placo al, the h(^ii(i of the most itii- 

 portaiit garden plants. None are easier to f?row, n^spond more 

 readily to care and attention, or (lower more; freely. K(>w cnlt i- 

 vated plants have a wider ranfje of color. The briftiant shades 

 and the free, fluffy Chrysanthennim-liktJ form of its flowers 

 make an cnchantiiif; spectacle which never fails to attract allcti- 

 tion. Plant soon as ^Toiitid is warm in a njoderately rich soil, 

 coveriuf; the tulxTs six inches de(>p. Thin to one or two shoots . 

 Cultivate well until it hc^j^ins to bloom: after that stir oidy tlie 

 surface soil just enough to prevent a crust forming.
