INFORMATION—DAHLIAS 
Dahlias should not be planted until the 
ground 1s warm, usually around the first 
part of April. Dig a hole about six inches 
deep in rich, well pulverized soil. Place the 
root on the side with the eye up and a stake 
firmed into the soil two inches out from 
where the stem will grow. Cover with two 
inches of soil and fill in the remainder of 
the hole as the plant grows. After several 
sets of leaves have developed pinch off the 
top so that it will grow bushy and strong. 
Cultivate often, feed regularly, and mulch 
with peat moss when the blooms appear.
