CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR DAHLIAS 
Dahlias do well in any good garden soil where they have at least one-half 
day's direct sunlight. Soil should be well cultivated previous to planting. In 
planting, the hole should be dug about 6 inches deep, the tuber placed in 
the hole horizontally, with the eye up, then the hole filled about 4 inches. 
Finish filling as the plant grows. The larger Dahlias should be planted 3 to 4 
feet apart; 2!/, feet apart is sutficient for the smaller varieties and pom- 
poms., In cases where extra fertilizer is required, a good dressing of barn- 
yard manure spaded in before planting is sufficient. !f commercial fertilizer 
is used, any good garden fertilizer worked in around the plants when they 
are about 6 inches high, and again just when they come into bud, and well 
soaked in, will suffice. Dahlias require plenty of water, but must not stand in 
water. When watering, be sure that the water soaks down where it is easily 
picked up by the roots. A good watering once every-ten days or two weeks 
is. better than a sprinkling every two or three days. By disbudding, larger 
blooms are secured. Dahlias should be taken up in the fall after the tops are 
killed by frost, and cured, and stored in a dry, cool place. A good practice 
is to store 'them in boxes of dry sawdust after they are dry. 
A good planting rule is, plant Dahlias when the trees bud.
