-Dahlias 
It is doubtful if there are any flowers that afford as much 
general satisfaction as Dahlias. The ease with which they can be 
grown in any sunny situation, their freedom from pests and 
blights, their endless variety of color, size, and form, and their 
great usefulness for cutting as well as garden decoration insure 
them a permanent place in popular favor, while their low cost 
makes it easy for everyone to start a collection which can be 
added to year after year. The roots or tubers should be planted 
about 4 inches deep in well-dug soil during May or June. Allow 
at least 2 feet of space between plants. Trim out all but the 
strongest two or three shoots and when these are about 4 feet 
All varieties offered are tubers (root divisions). Price, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

high pinch off the tips to encourage branching. If extra-large 
exhibition blooms are wanted, remove all but one or two of the 
top buds on each stem. Tall plants should be tied to stakes for 
support. Dig roots when frost has killed the foliage in the fall, 
and store in sand or soil in a cool but frost-proof cellar. 
The Cactus Dahlias are distinguished by narrow, quilled petals 
which are often curved and twisted in various forms. Decorative 
Dahlias include the old-fashioned formal and rather stiff show 
or “‘ball” Dahlias, and the newer broad-petaled types of enor- 
mous size.
