Care of Dahlias 
Dahlia seeds may be sown in flats indoors or in hot- 
beds out of doors during the months of March and April. 
Indoors sow in flats using a fine mixture of soil, and leaf 
mold, or both. Settle the soil well and dampen before 
sowing the seeds. Place the seeds about an inch apart 
both ways, and then cover lightly just enough to cover 
the seed. Covering may be of the same soil or pure sand. 
Wet a cloth or burlap and lay flat on the soil until the 
seeds germinate, which should be in three or four days, 
and some will take as long as three weeks so don’t dis- 
turb the seeds for at least three weeks as some will ap- 
pears after the first ones have been transplanted. Keep 
the soil damp ai all times during the germination period. 
When large enough to handle, pot them in smal] pots and 
later.in larger ones in which they may remain until ready 
to set out which should be as soon as danger of frost is 
past. Piant and care for the seedlings same as plants or 
roots. Seedlings will most always bloom before plants 
from roots or rooted cuttings.
