Prize -Winning Dahlias 
Dahlias will grow in almost any soil but they must have 
good drainage. On very heavy soils add plenty of peat moss 
and sand well worked in. Tubers should be planted in trenches 
or holes 4 inches deep in heavy soil and 6 inches deep in sandy 
soil. Mix in a tablespoonful of bone meal, lay the tuber fiat 
and cover with not more than 2 inches of soil. Fill in as the 
plant develops. Careful attention to the pinching off of side 
buds will result in larger blooms. Never allow more than two 
or three stems to a plant. 
GREEN PLANTS. Remove moss and paper pots, soak ball 
of soil in water for a few minutes, then plant with the top of 
the ball of dirt 3 inches below the surface of the soil. Soak 
thoroughly and shade the plants for a few days.
