HOW TO PLANT DAHLIAS. Plant in late spring when the ground is warm. 
They should have good, well-drained soil and a sunny location. Plant 2 ft. 
apart, setting tuber 6 inches deep, on its side with eye up, covering with 3 
inches of earth pressed firmly. Fill hole gradually as plant grows. Nip the 
ends of the main shoots when about 12 inches tall to encourage more bloom. 
Dig after first frost in fall. Cut tops to roots and store upside down in 
cool, dry cellar or cave, or place in box and cover with a mixture of Peat 
Moss and dry sand. 
PLANT CANNAS IN LATE SPRING when the ground is warm, 15 to 18 inches 
apart each way. Set the roots 2 to 3 inches deep in rich, mellow soil in a 
sunny location. An application of Ra-Pid-Go shortly before the blooms start 
will increase the size of the flowers. In the fall when the frost has killed the 
tops, dig immediately. Expose them to the sun for a few hours so that roots 
will dry off, then store in a cool place, buried in Peat Moss or sand to pre- 
vent drying and shriveling.
