danger of frost is over, but do not plant too early. The 
Dahlia is a fall flower and if planted too early will com- 
mence to bloom in the hottest weather, and either blast 
in the bud or produce one-sided flowers. 
Plant tuber 6 inches deep on its side, having sprout 
or eye facing upwards; cover with about two inches of 
soil. When sprouts are 6 inches high add more soil, 
making it level with surface. Cultivation is the prin- 
cipal requirement of the Dahlia—the most important, of, 
all operations to insure success.
