Jackson's. Prize-Winning Dahlias 
Jackson’s Dahlia Roots for South Texas 
CULTURE. We are learning each year more about the culture of 
dahlias in this section and some of the exhibits at the flower shows this 
fall of home grown dahlias were almost as large as those raised in 
the dahlia section. Spade your soil deep, plant the bulb flat. After the 
plants are up out of the ground it is a good plan to place about one- 
half inch of mulch about the base of the plant. This will hold moisture 
in the soil except in extremely dry weather. Lawn clippings, peat moss 
and even straw or hay will make a good mulch. If you feel that the 
soil is weak and lacking in quality, it is a good plan to rake in a little 
bone meal before the mulch is applied.-Don’t let the ground get a hard 
crust. In watering dahlias, don’t try to overdo it. Just replace the 
normal amount of moisture in the ground.

tiful bluish purple. A healthy and strong grower, producing flowers of

raise Dahlias from seed and they will bloom 
the first season about four weeks later than 
from tubers. 
CULTURE. Sow seed in flats, covering 
lightly with sand, screened leaf-mold and sim- 
ilar material. Place a square of burlap on tor
