SATEX PRIZE WINNING DAHLIAS AND GLADIOLIS 
GLADIOLI BULBS 
CULTURE—Spade soil not less than 8 to 
10 inches deep. Make your rows 18 to 20 
inches apart and set bulbs 4 inches in the 
ground and 8 inches apart. Cover bulbs with 
1 inch of soil, then sprinkle lightly with 
fertilizer or bone meal, then fill in rest of 
trench with soil and firm down to eliminate 
air pockets around bulbs. Thoroughly soak 
plants when water is necessary. Do not 
sprinkle as it has a tendency to draw roots 
up to moisture. Keep cultivating. The more 
you do the better your plants and flowers.

DAHLIA BULBS 
CULTURE—Dahlias do well in any well 
drained fertile garden soil in an open sunny 
location, arid are as easy to grow as po¬ 
tatoes. 
Before planting spade the ground well to 
loosen the soil thoroughly to a depth of six 
to eight inches. 
When soil is warm and danger of frost is 
past, dig holes five or six inches deep, two 
to three feet apart, in rows three to four 
feet apart. 
Lay tuber on its side—never on end—with 
eye upward, and cover with good dirt in 
which is mixed a little wood ashes if pos¬ 
sible. Mark place of hill with a small stick. 
Sprout should show within three weeks. 
After plant is up, remove all but ' one 
sprout. When this has grown to be twelve 
to fifteen inches high, pinch out the top to 
encourage lower branching and make it un¬ 
necessary to stake plant to keep from break¬ 
ing over by wind. 
When buds show, remove all but one bud 
on a stem, removing shoots and leaves at 
base of bud to give a better stem. Allow 
five or six blooming stems to a plant, but 
keep all dead flowers trimmed off.
