STORING DAHLIA ROOTS 
As soon as the plants are killed by frost, lift the roots, digging 
carefully, and after removing all the soil possible from them, allow 
them to dry in the air for a few hours, when they may be stored in 
the cellar or other cool place free from frost, the ideal average 
temperature being 45 degrees. If the cellar is very dry or is not 
frostproof, put the roots in a barrel or box and cover completely 
with sand or sawdust to prevent freezing or loss of vitality by 
drying or shrivelling.
