INFORMATION—DAHLIAS 
Dahlias should not be planted until the 
ground is 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.
