GIANT EXHIBITION DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
This flower has been so much improved in recent years that 
no garden seems complete without it. Especially is this true 
of the type known as Decorative Dahlias. 
Culture: They do best in rich soil and plenty of sun, but 
will grow in any good garden soil, and in almost any location 
excepting one very shady. The bulbs or tubers should be 
planted from the last of April to the first of June, about 4 inches 
deep and 30 inches apart. An inch-square stake, 6 to 7 feet 
long, should be stuck a foot into the ground when the roots are 
planted, and the plants tied to it when about 2 feet high.
