Introductory 
Dahlias are Autumn’s most beautiful flowers and are 
getting more popular each year, lasting until frost. 
They are not particular as to the soil or location. 
Although maximum growth and bloom reward the 
full sun, some of the stronger sorts develop most 
perfect specimens in partial shade; and localities 
with a moist atmosphere or dewy nights are apt to 
give better results than a drier air. Frequent culti¬ 
vation prior to their blooming season is absolutely 
essential to real success. Time for planting varies 
according to climate, but is safe after all danger of 
late frosts is past. Roots should be planted about 4 
inches deep, laid flat, eyes or sprout up. When cul¬ 
tivating hill slightly.
