CHANGE YOUR SOIL 
It is advisable to change the loca¬ 
tion of the dahlia bed every two or 
three years. Most all plants are im¬ 
proved by change of soil and the dahlia 
is no exception. Flowers will be larger 
and better and the root development 
decidedly better. In many yards this 
change would seem to be impractical, 
as but one location has been left for 
the dahlia row and to make a change 
would necessitate the removal of other 
plants where this obstacle would be 
in the way and no new location is 
available. Soil may be removed from 
one portion of the yard in exchange 
for soil from the dahlia bed. Dig a 
trench eight inches deep and two feet 
wide and exchange soil for soil in 
some other portion of the yard or 
bring in new soil from some other 
source. This at first glance would look 
like considerable of an undertaking, 
but a man or lad can move a lot of 
soil in a few hours. In this way the 
soil may be renewed indefinitely to the 
mutual advantage of whatever plants 
are grown. When this cannot be done 
a little air slacked lime every two or 
three years may be used, but the lime 
must be used in moderation.

Dear Sir: 
I am just writing you to tell 
you of the results secured from 
the dahlia bulbs which I pur¬ 
chased from you last spring. I 
can say that while I have se¬ 
cured bulbs from many differ¬ 
ent places from the different 
growers of dahlias T have never 
had any which so thoroughly 
came up to all one was led to 
expect from the catalog de¬ 
scription of them as the tubers 
which I bought from vou.
