DENVER, COLO 
Dahlias 
Dahlias can be grown in any good soil but they will succeed best in an open sunny location. Plant when ground is 
warm and all danger of frost is past. Plant the bulbs 3 inches deep, laying the tuber on its side. Keep soil loose 
and mellow by frequent hoeing, drawing the soil to a slight hillock around the plants. 3 feet by 3 feet is about the 
proper distance to plant apart. After frost has killed the top, dig the tubers carefully; remove the soil from the roots 
and store in box or barrel secure from frost. As a precaution it is well to cover the tubers, so stored, with sand, 
leaves or moss. All clumps should be divided into several pieces before being reset the following spring. 
The ■‘Decorative” types are characterized by gracefully formed flowers of large size with broad petals, being in¬ 
termediate in form between the compact “Ball” sorts, which are nearly round, and the “Cactus” varieties, which have 
loosely formed blossoms with long twisted petals. 
The Peony-Flowered are of large size, with broad petals, artistically curled and twisted.
