GROWING THE DAHLIA 
Location: Open, sunny or partial shade. Cultivate the 
soil thoroughly. Plant from May 1st to June 20th. Dig a 
hole one foot deep. Put in a shovel of manure or other plant 
food. Cover with an inch of soil. If stake is to be used, 
set in. Plant bulb four inches deep, horizontally, and cover. 
Cultivate at least once a week. Do not water until the 
plants are well above the ground. When the buds appear 
water the plants thoroughly once or twice a week. Apply 
any good fertilizer, stirring the soil lightly after. To

few buds and branches on each plant.
