DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the most popular of garden flow- 
ers. Its flowers may be used for garden decorations, 
house decorations, bouquets, florists and exhibition. 
CULTURE. An open, sunny location seems to favor 
them at all times. Dahlias can be planted any time after 
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.
