DAHLIAS 
one of gardening’s finest thrills 
There was a time, not so long ago, when 
dahlia growing was commonly considered 
as “something for the experts.’ Not so 
today. 
Any reasonably careful gardener can 
grow dahlias easily and  successfully— 
and enjoy one of the greatest pleasures 
that flower gardening affords. Dahlias 
vary in size from 2 inch to 16 inches or 
more in diameter. The plants run from 
18 inches to 7 feet in height. The colors in- 
clude practically all hues except clear blue. 
Dahlia types and forms cover a vast range. 
And all of these varied types are suitable 
for the average home garden. 
Soil needs of dahlias are no different than 
those of a good vegetable garden. Drain- 
age and porosity are important. 
Fertilizing calls for nothing more than a 
good balanced commercial fertilizer. 
Location should be where they will get at 
least 6 to 7 hours of sun, with free air 
circulation. Stay away from roots of large 
trees or shrubs. 
Planting is simple. Set stout stakes first. 
Plant the tuber in a hole 6 inches deep, 
with eye up, and neck near stake. Cover 
with just enough soil to hide the tuber. As 
the eye grows, keep filling in soil. 
Culture. Cultivate frequently for about the 
first 10 weeks. Do not cultivate when flowers 
are in bud or bloom.
