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, set- 
ting 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. Water heavily at 
planting time, and thereafter as needed. 
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,
