Plant Tait’s Thoroughbred Bulbs 
Giant Exhibition Decorative Dahlias 
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 ins. deep and 
30 ins. apart. An inch square stake, 5 or 6 ft. long, should 
be stuck a foot in the ground when the roots are planted, 
and the plants tied to it when about 2 ft. high.
