SELECTED DAHLIAS 
One of the most showy of the autumn flowers. 
The culture is most simple; any extra attention 
given to the growing plants is repaid by larger 
and more blooms. A sandy soil which has been 
well enriched and a sunny position are advanta¬ 
geous factors, yet good results accrue in almost 
any soil. About three by three feet apart is the 
distance to plant. Large clumps or roots should be 
divided, leaving one or two eyes to the tuber. 
When planting place the tuber flat on its side and 
cover six inches deep; after the growth shows 
above ground cultivate thoroughly until the bloom¬ 
ing period. Planting time in this latitude is from 
about May 10 to the end of June.

supplied with buds and foliage. The plants are
