DAHLIAS — Culture: Dahlias 
should be planted as soon as the 
ground has warmed up in the 
spring. Plant about 6 inches 
deep in well prepared soil, spacing 
tubers 2 feet apart for pompons 
and miniatures and 3 ft. apart for 
larger varieties. Place a_ stout 
stake near each tuber and tie the 
stalks to the stake as the plant 
grows. Top the young dahlias if 
lower growth and branching is de- 
sired. Colors: Assorted. Prices: 35c 
each. 6 for $2.00, postpaid. 
DOUBLE TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
Culture: Plant indoors in a 
warm place in February or March 
in moist peat moss just covering 
the bulb. Pot up when well sprout- 
ed in a mixture of peat moss, hu- 
mus, or soil. Plant outdoors after 
danger of frost has passed. They 
do best in northern locations 
where they are shaded much of 
the day. Prepare soil carefully and 
add liberal quantities of peat moss. 
Keep well watered and fertilized. 
Dig and store in late fall in a dry 
place during the winter. Warn- 
ing —failure is likely to result 
from planting dormant tubers in 
open ground, especially if it is 
cold and wet. 
Colors: Assorted.
