SOME HINTS FOR THE CUTTING OF DAHLIA FLOWERS

morning before the sun is shining upon them or in the evening after sunset , therefore never 
when the sun is shining. The flowers should only be cut when they are u ripe”, not in buds. 
After cutting place them in a coot /dare for about an hour rather deeplg in water, in order 
that the flowers may absorb sufficient moisture . After that you may arrange them in a 
vase. It is also advisable to keep the. flowers in a cool place during the night.
