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 inc 
hes 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.

add color to your garden. The Dahlia is excel- 
lent for cutting. The well-formed yellow blooms
