DAHLIAS 


No garden is complete without at least a few choice Dahlias. 
These handsome flowers are easily grown, and reward the 
gardener with gorgeous blooms. Plant in May or early June, 
at least 3 ft. apart, and about 5 inches deep, laying the tuber 
flat, with the eye or sprout within a couple of inches of a stake 
previously driven. Light soil preferred, not too rich. Lighten 
heavy soils with peat moss, sand or coal ashes. Keep fertilizer 
from direct contact with tuber. After frost kills the plant, 
dig the clump, being careful not to break the necks of the 
tubers, and store in dry earth, sand or peat moss, in a cool but 
frost-proof cellar. Divide the clump into single tubers in the 
spring before planting. Roots sent after April 15th unless 
otherwise ordered, as eyes show plainer.
