BALDERSON’S DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the easiest flowers to 
grow. Plant about 5 inches deep in loose soil, 
from the last of April until June. Dahlias are 
great feeders and thrive best if the ground is 
top-dressed with some good plant food. We 
recommend Vigoro after planting.

finest pinks, grows five to six feet 
tall and produces an abundance of Each Doz.
