Flower Planting Guide for the South 
Dahlias 
Tender. Plant from February to October. 
Dahlia-culture is simple. They grow best in a fairly rich soil which has been spaded 
about 18 inches deep. Lay the tubers on the side, covering from 4 to 6 inches deep. 
Plants should be at least IV 2 to 2 feet apart. Stakes for supporting the plants may 
be set at the time of planting, thus avoiding injury to the tubers and plants later on. 
It is well to cut out all but three or four strong shoots. When the buds form, add 
more fertilizer, say a handful to each plant, repeating in about two weeks. To se¬ 
cure extra-large flowers, remove the side buds, leaving only those at the ends of 
the shoots and branches.
