Dahlia Dont s 
Don’t think you have been “gyped” when a grower sends you a small 
clean, plump root. They usually produce better plants than extra 
large ones. 
Don’t water growing plants too often. In hot weather it often causes 
losses. A better way to provide the necessary moisture is by frequent 
cultivation, thus providing a soil mulch to hold what moisture you 
already have. 
Don’t place fertilizer near the plant. Work it in the middle of the rows. 
The feed roots will find it. 
Don’t allow weeds and trash to accumulate around your garden. Besides 
looking bad, it is a fine method of propagating the insects which cause 
so much grief.
