PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Roots 
Roots should be planted in trenches or holes, four inches 
deep in heavy soil and six inches deep in sandy soil laid flat 
down {not on end] and covered with earth not over two 
inches in depth, filling in as the plant develops. Where 
drainage is poor, do not plant so deep and keep a furrow 
open between rows to facilitate drainage in wet weather. 
You cannot expect a dahlia to grow in any wet soggy 
ground or expect replacements when planted in ground in 
this condition. Wait a few days for ground to dry out 
somewhat.

will grow them as usual from the later introductions and 
they can be had when called for at my greenhouse.
