HOW TO GROW DAHLIAS 
Set out Dahlia tubers when the ground is 
warm, at ‘‘corn-planting time,’ in a sunny spot 
in light soil. Dig holes one foot deep, one foot 
wide and 3 feet apart. Fill to within 7 inches 
of the top with a mixture of half soil and half 
peat moss. Place tuber on its side and fill 
hole halfway to top. Water liberally. As plant 
pushes through soil, keep covering until hole is 
filled. After plant is 6 inches above surface, 
cut off all but the strongest stem and trim 
that to within three inches of the ground. This 
makes a well branched plant. 
Keep well cultivated and do not let dry out. 
To grow very large exhibition flowers, feed 
regularly with sheep manure, apply water when 
needed and pinch off 50% of the flower buds.
