DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia will grow in any good soil. In the moist sec¬ 
tions of the country planting can be done after all danger 
of frost is over. In dryer parts planting should be delayed 
until later so as to bring the growth on in the late summer 
when it is cooler, as the Dahlia is at its best in rather cool 
weather. Tubers should be planted 6 inches deep, laid flat, 
with the eyes or sprouts up. 
Prices of all Dahlias, unless otherwise noted: Strong 
tubers, 50c each; $5.00 per 12.
