DAHLIAS 
CULTURE. Plant two or three feet apart in holes about four to six inches deep, laying the bulbs 
flat with the eye uppermost. Never stand bulb on end. Soil must be well worked and kept cultivated 
until bloom buds appear; after which keep the surface from crusting. After the young plant appears 
above the ground, keep the soil moist, but never water before the plant is above the ground, as this 
may cause them to rot or damp off. Never allow fertilizer to come in contact with the bulb or 
plant. Allow only one shoot to grow and disbud for large blossoms and long stems. 
Orders for Dahlias are booked as received, and will be shipped from April 15 to May 15. Dahlias 
can be planted at any time from about April 20 to June 1. We would appreciate it if you will say we 
may substitute with an equal or better variety if the one ordered is sold out.
