DAHLIAS 



There are few flowers that compare with the Dahlia in charming diversity of form and wide range of brilliant 

 colors, and certainly no other surpasses it for autumn display in the garden as well as for cutting. 



The roots are tender and easily injured by frost. They should be set out three feet apart, after all danger of 

 frost is over. The best blooms are sometimes obtained if planting is deferred until about June 1. The soil should 

 b>e deeply dug and well drained mixing coal ashes with the soil before planting, positively no manure used. A 

 stiff clay should be avoided. A sunny situation is desirable as well as plenty of space and air. Place the roots 

 horizontally, covering two to three inches deep._ Give thorough cultivation and during dry weather water well 

 once a week. To obtain large blossoms, use liquid manure around plant twice a week when plant begins to show 

 bud. The plants should be supported by tying to stakes. The roots should be placed during winter in a cool 

 cellar but not aUowed to freeze.
