a DAHLIAS 
Dahlias can be grown in any good soil but they will succeed 
best in an open sunny location. Plant when ground is warm 
and all danger of frost is past. Plant the bulbs 3 inches deep, 
laying the tuber on its side. Keep soil loose and mellow by 
frequent hoeing, drawing the soil to a slight hillock around 
the plants. 3 feet by 3 feet is about the proper distance to plant 
apart. After frost has killed the top, dig the tubers carefully; 
remove the soil from the roots and store in box or barrel secure 
from frost. As a precaution it is well to cover the tubers, so 
stored, with sand, leaves or moss. All clumps should be divided 
into several pieces before being reset the foi!lowing spring. 
The ‘Decorative’ types are characterized by gracefully 
formed flowers of large size with broad petals, being intermedi- 
ate in form between the compact and the ‘‘Cactus’’ varieties, 
which have loosely formed blossoms with long twisted petals.

BEAUTIFUL PEONIES 
Chinese Peonies are very desirable on account of their large 
size, fine colors and profuse blooming. They are perfectly hardy 
and will succeed in any ground unless so wet the water stands 
on the surface in the winter and spring. Avoid planting too 
deeply, as this is often the cause of shy blooming; 2 inches of 
soil over the crown (eyes) being sufficient.
