DAHLIAS 
Dahlias are of the easiest cul¬ 
ture and do well in any good 
garden soil, but for finest flow¬ 
ers they require a lightly loamy 
soil with good cultivation. Plant 
from February 1st to June. 
Tubers should be placed in the 
ground with the eye, or sprout, 
about 5 inches below the surface 
and at least 3 feet apart. After 
the buds appear, water freely. In 
order to obtain the finest largest 
flowers it is common to disbud, 
removing the side shoots and 
lateral buds, leaving a single 
flower to a stem. Prices on 
Dahlia roots postpaid to fourth 
zone.
