DAHLIAS—Finest Quality and Selection 
Culture: Pick a sunny spot if possible and 
spade well. Do not use too much manure, for 
a small quantity goes far with the Dahlia. 
Then lay the root on its side about 4 inches 
from the surface. In covering, be sure to have 
the soil packed firmly about the tuber or 
roots; plant only when the soil is dry, then 
water sparingly.
