CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR DAHLIAS 
Dahlias do well in any good garden soil where they have at 
least one-half day’s direct sunlight. Soil should be well cultivated 
previous to planting. In planting, the hole should be dug about 
6 inches deep, the tuber placed in the hole horizontally, with the 
eye up, then the hole filled about 4 inches. Finish filling as the 
plant grows. The larger Dahlias should be planted 3 to 4 feet 
apart; 212 feet apart is sufficient for the smaller varieties and 
pompoms. In cases where extra fertilizer is required, a good dress- 
ing of barnyard manure spaded in before planting is sufficient. If 
commercial fertilizer is used, any good garden fertilizer worked 
in around the plants when they are about 6 inches high, and again 
just when they come into bud, and well soaked in, will suffice. 
Dahlias require plenty of water, but must not stand in water. 
When watering, be sure that the water soaks down where it is 
easily picked up by the roots. A good watering once every ten 
days or two weeks is better than a sprinkling every two or three 
days. By disbudding, larger blooms are secured. Dahlias should be 
taken up in the fall after the tops are killed by frost, and cured, 
and stored in a dry, cool place. A good practice is to store them 
in boxes of dry sawdust after they are dry. 
A good planting rule is, plant Dahlias when the trees bud.
