DAHLIAS 
CULTURE—Dahlias do well in any well 
drained fertile garden soil in an open sunny 
location, and are as easy to grow as po- 
tatoes. 
Before planting spade the ground well to 
loosen the soil thoroughly to a depth of six 
to eight inches. 
When soil is warm and danger of frost is 
past, dig holes five or six inches deep, two 
to three feet apart, in rows three to four 
feet apart. 
Lay tuber on its side—never on end—with 
eye upward, and cover with good dirt in 
which is mixed a little wood ashes if pos- 
sible. Mark place of hill with a small stick. 
Sprout should show within three weeks. 
After plant is up, remove all but one 
sprout. When this has grown to be twelve 
to fifteen inches high, pinch out the top to 
encourage lower branching and make it un- 
necessary to stake plant to keep from break- 
ing over by wind.

A POINT TO REMEMBER! All of 
our bulbs are the finest money ean buy 
and all are the largest size available. 
Many mail orders houses are prone to 
list special extremely low prices on 
assortments, collections, and quantity 
orders, but fail to mention the size of 
the bulbs. We cite one instance where 
a lady ordered 100 Rainbow Gladioli 
for $2.39, which she planted, and in 
due course of time was rewarded with 
two small straggly blooms, the other 
98 bulbs failed to bloom because they 
were too small. For $1.00 she could 
have bought a dozen number one high- 
crowned bulbs and gotten 12 first 
quality blooms, with no more effort 
expended 2005. 22% WHICH DO YOU 
WANT? — WE HAVE ONLY THE 
LATTER TO OFFER! 

GLADIOLI 
CULTURE—Spade soil not less than 8 to 
10 inches deep. Make your rows 18 to 20 
inches apart and set bulbs 4 inches in the 
ground and 8 inches apart. Cover bulbs with 
1 inch of soil, then sprinkle lightly with 
fertilizer or bone meal, then fill in rest of . 
trench with soil and firm down to eliminate 
Thoroughly soak 
plants when water is necessary. Do not 
sprinkle as it has a tendency to draw roots 
up to moisture. Keep cultivating. The more 
you do the better your plants and flowers.
