Cactus Dahlia 
Time of Planting: The time for planting Dahlias varies 
quite a good deal, according to the locality. In the central 
states roots may be set out as early as May 1st in some 
sections and from then until the middle of June. Some 
of our best blooms have been grown from roots planted 
about June 15th. Dahlias should be planted from 2% to 
3 feet apart and covered to a depth of 6 inches. We list 
only varieties which will do best in our Middle West.
