DAHLIAS 

CULTURE OF DAHLIAS 
Although Dahlias are easily grown in any good 
garden soil they respond readily to good cultivation. 
Prepare the soil by digging 12 to 18 inches deep and 
working in a moderate amount of well rotted manure 
or commercial fertilizer. Plant the bulbs 2%4 to 3 feet 
apart at a depth of 5 or 6 inches. Give them just 
enough water when above ground to keep them grow- 
ing slowly. Apply fertilizers and water in quantities 
only after the plant begins to bud. Dahlias may be 
planted from March to July, preferably in May.
