DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the most popular of garden 
flowers. Its flowers may be used for garden decorations, 
house decorations, bouquets, florists’ work and exhibition. 
LOCATION. An open, sunny location seems to favor 
them at all times. Dahlias do well on high and low 
land, on hillsides or perfectly level land, giving good 
results in each location. 
TIME OP PLANTING. Dahlias can be planted any time 
after danger of frost is over, and under ordinary condi¬ 
tions will blossom in from 6 to 8 weeks after they have 
been planted. It is always best to wait until the ground 
becomes thoroughly warmed. 
PLANTING. Plant bulb 6 inches deep, flat down, hav¬ 
ing sprout or eye facing upward; cover with about two 
inches of soil. When sprouts are 6 inches high add 
more soil, making it level with surface. 
Illii-strated planting direction with each order. 
CULTIVATION. Cultivation is the principal require¬ 
ment of the Dahlia—the most important of all opera¬ 
tions to insure success. Keep the soil well cultivated 
and free from weeds; never allow the soil to crust. 
The Dahlias listed on this page have been selected 
with care, as being the choicest and most charming of 
ail Dahlias, at reasonable prices.
