How to Grow Dahlias 
Our Dahlias need nothing but 
average garden care. They appre 
ciate well-drained soil and full 
sunshine. Plant them when the 
ground warms up. Stake the tall- 
growing ones when you plant; 
the foliage soon will hide the 
stakes. Set your Dahlias 2 to 4 
ft. apart, depending upon how 
thick you want them. For really 
large blooms, disbud. Of course 
the miniatures and pompons 
should be allowed to bloom free- 
ly. In the fall, after a frost, dig 
the bulbs and store them in a 
cinna- 
white 
Grows vigor-

Each year we pick our very finest 
dahlias for the Aristocrat list. Our 
selection this year contains some of 
the finest ‘Aristocrats’ you can

dahlias that will make a showing 
you will be proud of. It is seldom 
we are able to offer such an assort- 
ment of colors as you will find in
