DAHLIA CULTURE 
Dahlias thrive in any good garden soil which is well drained. Compost or well rotted cow 
manure will add desired humus to the soil, but DO NOT allow the manure to come in direct con- 
tact with the tubers. They like a sunny location and water only when the ground is quite dry and 
then soak it thoroughly. 
Plant when danger of frost is past; and set a stake beside each tuber. Plant tubers horizontally 
with “eye” or sprout facing up, from 4 to 6 inches deep.
