rot DAHLIAS 
A giant decorative or cactus Dahlia is always a spectacular attrac- 
tion in late summer and a pompon type will probably produce 
more blooms in one season than just about anything else. Hy- 
bridizers have accomplished wonders in recent years and you 
will agree with us that many of the new varieties possess glorious 
shades and artistic formations unknown to dahlias a few years 
ago. Our Oregon grown tubers are carefully inspected before 
shipment to make sure you receive top quality tubers with strong 
eyes. 
CULTURE: Plant tubers in any good garden soil 4 to 5 inches 
deep in a horizontal position with the eye or sprout upright. 
After planting do not allow the soil to dry out as dahlias require 
abundant moisture from the time growth begins. Stronger bushy 
specimens are produced by pinching the tops out of the plants 
when they are about one foot high. Well rotted manure thor- 
oughly mixed with the soil provides a good fertilizer for dahlias. 
For best results plant in full sun except in warmest sections of 
the country where afternoon shade is advisable. 
SHIPMENT: Spring to June 15th.
