For those who do not know the different varieties of Dahlias or feel that they do not know which ones to

order to get you acquainted with this beautiful flower. 
Dahlia bulbs are ready for shipment about April 16th. You may include them in your order for seeds and 
they will be sent when ready. 
DAHLIA CULTURE—Dahlias will grow to perfection in any good garden soil and should be planted where 
they will get plenty of sun although they will do very well if planted in a location that is partially shaded. 
Holes should be dug about three feet apart each wav and the bulbs planted 6 to 6 inches deep, laying them 
flat in the bottom of the hole. Under no circumstances should they be stood on end. Cover bulb with not more 
than 2 inches of finely pulverized soil at first and as plant makes growth hole should be gradually filled in.
