CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Plant your tubers in a horizontal position 
about 6 inches deep in well prepared soil. Allow 
about 3x4 feet for each plant. Do not sprinkle, but 
soak well every week or ten days during hot 
weather. Keep surface of the ground well pul¬ 
verized. 
After frost has killed the tops of your dahlias 
lift them carefully to prevent breaking the 
“necks." Cut off the tops about 4 inches above 
tubers and store upside down in a cool cellar. 
Cut your blooms late at night or early in the 
mornng, place them in about 3 inches of boiling 
water for a few minutes, when they are ready for 
your vases of cool water.
