Form of Flower—(FD) Formal Decora- 
tive, (ID) Informal Decorative, (C) Cactus, 
(SC) Semi Cactus, (B) Ball or Snow, (P) 
Peony. 
Dimensions—After each listing, numbers 
such as 6-8 5 appear. The 6-8 means that 
the flower will grow from 6 to 8 inches in 
diameter, and the last number such as 5 
means the height the plant will grow in 
feet. 
Culture—Plant 2 or 3 feet apart in holes 
about 4 to 6 inches deep, laying the bulbs 
flat with the eye uppermost. Never stand 
bulb on end. Soil must be well worked and 
kept cultivated until bloom buds appear, 
after which keep the surface from crust- 
- ing. After the young plant appears above 
the ground, keep the soil moist, but never 
water before the plant is above the ground 
as this may cause them to rot or damp off. 
Never allow fertilizer to come in contact 
with the bulb or plant. Allow only one 
shoot to grow and disbud for large blos- 
soms and long stems. 
Orders for Dahlias are booked as re- 
ceived, and will be shipped from April 15
