EXQUISITE DAHLIAS 
CULTURE: Plant roots with live eyes in hills 
or drills lying flat down, 6 inches deep. Do not 
stand the root on end, as you want the roots 
down fairly deep to provide ample moisture in 
dry weather. Commercial fertilizer, Vigoro, or 
well-rotted manure will produce better plants 
and larger flowers. However, care must be taken 
that the bulbs do not come in direct contact 
with the fertilizer. Work the fertilizer into the 
soil before planting and then apply about % inch 
of good garden soil over this before planting. 
Dahlias, for best results, should be spaced in 
rows at least 3 feet apart and at least 18 inches 
apart in the row. Keep well cultivated. 
After the frost has killed the tops, dig the 
tubers, remove the tops and turn upside down 
for a few hours, leaving as much dirt on the 
clump as possible. Store in a cool root cellar 
away from furnace heat. In the Spring, divide 
the tubers, making sure that at least one live 
eye, which is on a portion of the crown, is on 
each division you plant. Bulbs without eyes are 
worthless.
