Hou to Grow and Care for Dablias 
7 F POSSIBLE, plant in an open, sunny situation. Prepare 
e 
the soil thoroughly by deep digging. Be moderate in the 
use of both manure and water. Never plant when the soil 
is wet. Lay the tuber flat on its side and cover it four 
my inches deep, pressing the soil firmly on the tuber. Keep 
the soil loose and mellow by frequent hoeing, drawing the 
soil to a slight hillock around the plant. 
Tall growing varieties may be kept fairly dwarf by pinching 
out the tip when the first shoot is six inches high. All varieties 
growing above four feet should be tied to stout stakes to hold them 
in position. 
3x3 feet is about the proper distance to plant apart. 
Keep all dead flowers trimmed off. 
Dahlia blooms keep much better if cut in the evening—about 
sunset—and the less foliage taken off with the flowers, the better 
for both plant and flower. If green is desired, use some other green 
of better keeping qualities. 
After frost has killed the tops, dig the tubers carefully, remove 
the soil from the roots, and store away in a box or barrel secure 
from frost. As a precaution it would be well to cover the tubers so 
stored with sand, leaves or moss. 
All clumps should be divided into several pieces before being 
reset the following spring.

OUR GUARANTEE 
Due to changing conditions, we are unable to give 
more than a 50% mortality guarantee. All retail sales 
are made subject to replace at half-price, on items failing 
to survive the first growing season after planting. All 
claims for mortality losses must be reported to us by 
October 1st, to be recognized. 
We will, however, insure your purchase 100% or 
one free replace only, for any item or items, by adding 
15% to the purchase price, if desired. This does not in- 
clude planting of the replacement, as a separate charge 
will be made on this also, if our services are required in 
doing so. We assume no responsibility for winter kill on 
spring planted stock.
