GIANT EXHIBITION DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
\ 
Giant Decorative Dahlia—Jane Cowl 
This flower has been so much improved in recent years 
that no garden seems complete without it. Especially is this 
true of the type known as Decorative Dahlias. 
CULTURE.—They do best in rich soil and plenty of sun, 
but will grow in any good garden soil, and in almost any 
location excepting one very shady. The bulbs or tubers 
should be planted in April, about 4 inches deep and 30 inches 
apart. An inch square stake, 5 or 6 feet long, should be 
stuck a foot in the ground when the roots are planted, and 
the plants tied to it when about 2 feet high.
