It’s easy to grow good Dahlias if you 
will just follow a few simple rules of cul- 
ture. Spade the earth 15 inches deep, 
thoroughly mixing with each 150 sq. ft. of 
garden, 1 standard size bale of peat moss 
and 15 Ibs. of dehydrated cow manure 
(Bovung). Don’t set out the Dahlia tu- 
bers until the ground is warm. Never fet 
the plants dry out. They must be well fed 
and well watered regularly. As the plants 
appear tie them to stakes and spray every 
15 days with a DDT insecticide. Pinch your 
plants back after they have made the 
third set of leaves. This will make them 
branch well and bushy in growth. lf you 
wish exhibition size flowers with long stems 
Pinch off two-thirds of the flower buds.
