DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Spade or plow the ground to a depth of about 10 in. As a 
fertilizer, use sheep manure and q uick-acting bonemeal, 
which should be well mixed with the soil. When the soil is 
properly prepared, dig a hole 6 in. deep, in which to plant 
the Dahlias. The bulbs should be laid down flat and cov¬ 
ered to a depth of 4 in. Every Dahlia should have from 
to 3 ft. space and at least 4 ft. between the rows. 
As soon as the plants are a foot above the ground they 
should be tied to a stake. 
Keep the ground well cultivated and free from weeds. An 
application of sheep manure about every two weeks will 
be of great benefit. 
Never leave more than one shoot to a plant. You will 
have better plants and larger flowers if you will allow 
only one main shoot to a plant.
