Dahlias 
Any type of soil can be made suitable to grow good Dahlias and 
one never goes wrong in adding humus and fine sand to insure proper 
drainage and keep the soil porous. A complete fertilizer, preferably 
2-10-6 (nitrogen-phosphate-potash) applied and worked in after plant- 
ing will be sufficient. 
Before planting the ground should be spaded well; plant four 
inches deep and 4 feet apart and a sturdy stake should be put in 
at the same time.
