A RAINBOW OF SELECTIONS IN DAHLIAS 
Dahlias 
Dahlias should not be planted until the ground is warm, usually around the first part of 
April. Dig a hole about six inches deep in rich, well pulverized soil. Place the root on its side 
with the eye up and a stake firmed into the soil two inches out from where the stem will grow. 
Cover with two inches of soil and fill in the remainder of the hole as the plant grows. After 
‘several sets of leaves have developed pinch off the top so that it will grow bushy and strong. 
Cultivate often, feed regularly, and mulch with peat moss when the blooms appear.

hybrid cactus; showy, well formed.
