TEN LOVELY POMPON DAHLIAS 
The flowering period of this Dahlia race, is almost unending. From July until the frost sets 
in they give an abundance of ball-shaped, compact flowers, in colors which are equal to 
the other Dahlia races. Of all Dahlias, they are the best cutflowers, for they last a remark¬ 
able time in water. As they only grow to a height of 24 inches, they are very suitable for 
beds and in the foreground of shrubberies. Cultivation ; Plant them 16 inches apart and 
follow the instructions at the foot of this page.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE CULTIVATION OF DAHLIAS 
Immediately upon receipt the Dahlias must be unpacked and ensilaged in the garden or in a 
rase of soil. At the beginning of May they should be planted out in their respective places. 
As soon as the young shoots appear it is advisable to thin them out, that is to say, one or 
two of the bigger shoots are left undisturbed whereas all the smaller ones should be cut off 
with a sharp knife, just underneath the surface of the soil. As a result, a strong plant with 
strong stems and many flowers will be obtained. To obtain extra large flowers, it is necessary 
to allow only one bud on one. stem to develop, therefore all other buds should be removed 
as soon as they appear. Further, all flowers which are withering should be removed at once. 
The tall growing Dahlias require support, the best thing to do is to place three sticks around the 
plant and to fasten them as soon as the plant has reached a reasonable height. Any soil is suit¬ 
able for Dahlias; before planting however, the soil must be dug thoroughly. Plant them in such 
a manner that the neck from which the shoots grow is covered with two inches of soil. They 
prefer a sunny position and the distance for planting is mentioned with each separate variety.
