Here are the cream of the new Dahlias 
MichcH*s Meritorious Dahlias 
Time of Shipment. Unless specially requested, tubers will be shipped March 15 to June 1; plants, May 15 to June 15. 
Culture. Dahlias are at their best during the latter part of September or early in October. To get exhibition blooms, disbud 
plants up to August 1. Spade or plow the soil 1 to 1 Yi feet deep; fertilize with well-rotted stable manure or Hyper-Humus; scatter 
about pound of bonemeal around each hill when planting. If soil is very heavy, incorporate a liberal quantity of granulated peat 
moss. About August 1, apply about pound bonemeal to each plant and work in thoroughly; sheep manure or potato fertilizer can 
be substituted for bonemeal at this time to good advantage. 
How to Keep Dahlia Tubers After They Are Shipped to You if Too Early to Plant 
Open package and allow tubers to remain in packing material. Do not expose to air or moisten too much; keep in a cool place, 
but not where they will freeze.
